The original upholstery in my ’50, 3600 has a very pronounced grain to it, and this is also present on the door panels. I am a little reluctant to order because If it isn’t like the original I’m gonna have to send it back. I’m concerned about the door panels, they all say cardboard in the catalogs, but mine are made from the water proof panel board material with a heavy embossed (paper?) on the face. This is what the upholstery shops use.
Nope, the only Bird dog in my hanger is named Gracy Mae, my Puggle puppy. Got a Pitts S1D and a Vagabond though, ya tain’t lookin' for a couple of planes are ya????
Nothing other than minor surface rust on anything so far and I've been crawling in, around and over big red every day for four months, scrappin’ and poking’. But thanks for the heads up, when I get the covers off I'll pay special attention to the spots you mentioned.
“My purpose is not the time nor the money but the task at hand ” got a little sign up over the bench that reminds me of this.
Gonna stick with the Mariner Blue, USAirForce ’64-68’.
