So Im looking for a shop that can do some custom work on my car...nothing insane.
I have a complete S13 coupe manual seat conversion, for those who dont know, the USDM headliner is cut to make way for the railing system of the autobelts...when converting to MT seatbelts , there is a gap between the jdm A pillar and the OEM headliner, pretty much i just need someone to extend the sides of the headliner to cover up said gap, and to possibly reuphoslter it with black fabric...
someone's got to know someone, its So Cal for christ sake...

Eddie & Sons in Bellflower can do it, but they are not cheap. They do mostly hot rods and resto rods. not sure of their #. google.

Don't want to try and do this yourself?
I doubt it's all that difficult. Follow that guys build in the chat section(Coupe restoration build iirc).
Extend, buy fabric, and get to work.
Do your door panels and glove box while you're at it.

yeah, i know exactly what ur talking about, i offered to even send him my headliner, pay him for the work and matl, and pay for both shippings, and hes to busy..plus my skill levels in doing this kinda stuff is nill to none...
Steve's too lazy for that shit.
fuck you...and yeah...pretty much, ive put to much fucking effort to find everything right, and to fuck it up on the headliner would piss me off...yes i have a spare, but why not just get it right the first time... :)

He's got a house full of mexicans, and if I know one thing that three amigos taught me, is that mexicans can sew.
Ned Nederlander (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001737/): This is not a town of weaklings! You can use your strengths against El Guapo. Now, what is it that this town really does well?
Townspeople: Hmmm. Hmmm? Ummm.
[long pause]
Mama Sanchez (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0142420/): We can sew!
Dusty Bottoms (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000331/): There you go, you can sew.
Ned Nederlander (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001737/): Ah.
Dusty Bottoms (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000331/): If only we had known this sooner.

i can sew...but sewing has nothing to do with it smartass...lol
this requires FG work and adhesioning (is that even a word...lol) it to the hard surface...doubtfull it needs to be sewn on...

Steve, I still have to do this myself with my 180sx seat belt conversion.
As soon as I have some free time, I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes.
