1973 Monte Carlo: A Classic Restoration
Project type
Automotive Upholstery
Date
December 2024
Location
Lethbridge, Alberta
Our latest portfolio addition showcases the transformation of a 1973 Monte Carlo into a stunning classic restoration. This project presented unique challenges during the upholstery process. The owner provided a premade seat kit for the reupholstery, but as we began installation, it became clear that the covers were poorly manufactured and did not fit properly. After comparing the new covers to the original upholstery, we discovered that all the pieces were incorrectly sized, making installation impossible.
To address this, we carefully developed a new pattern from the original upholstery and completely remade the side panels for a precise fit. While the bolsters and seat panels were also oversized, the project budget did not allow for remaking the entire seat. Instead, we skillfully wrapped the seat foam in terylene to provide support and ensure a smooth finish. To complete the restoration, we installed a brand-new Landau top, restoring the car's iconic look. This project demonstrates our dedication to quality craftsmanship, even when facing unexpected challenges.
