1929 Austin 12-4 fabric bodied sportsman saloon

I recently purchased this car that is a partially rebuilt project, but it still needs the fabric installed. Can anyone help with sourcing material and installation tips? Thanks

Re: 1929 Austin 12-4 fabric bodied sportsman saloon

As Rexine in heavy grade is no longer available Everflex is probably your best option, in my experience it is best to use thin cotton wadding covered with Calico under the Vinyl. This is the traditional approach and does not look overstuffed which can happen when using modern materials like thin foam sheeting. Woolies Trim are a good source of materials and probably also advice.

Google Martrim ,they are cheaper than Woolies and send samples on request.
