Houndstooth ???
 

Hey everyone. Since my interior needs to be completely redone I was thinking of putting some houndstooth fabric in the seats. Does anyone have any pics of theirs or ideas/opinions/suggestions on this? Since my carpet is red and all the painted stuff is black i was kinds thinking some red/black stuff but would like to see pics of whatever you have.
Thanks,
Terry J.

I did houndstooth inserts on my orange '74. The upholstery shop I use at the shop didn't have any good options, but I found the material that I used at a place that did home furnishings. I don't have any pics of the seat here at work, but I did my interior in black. It turned out well.

Is there a specific kind/grade of houndstooth fabric for something like this??

Re: Houndstooth ???
 

I looked at a fabric store first, but it didn't look like it would work, and I didn't care for the pattern as much (everything looked too small). The people that did the seats said what I bought worked out great, and it was a lot cheaper than what they could get $15 per yard vs. $60 per yard.

I just so happen to have a pic Jonboy.

That is one fine interior...

Jon.... Was that the tan dash I gave you?

Re: Houndstooth ???
 

It is. I hear the guy that bought the truck was just going to drive it and leave it alone. :mm:

That's the one. It was actually Mandarin (orange). Looks a lot more orange next to the black before it was dyed. I still have the original dashpad in the attic.

Man I miss having a truck that runs under it's own power......

Man I love the look of that houndstooth in there. Someday... someday...

No pics, but check out 1968/1969 Camaro Z28 houndstooth original seats. I think red/white or orange/white - best I have seen.

They had the windows up at the SEMA show, but Chevy's E-rod K10 had orange houndstooth upholstery. Looked cool to me.

I think we both knew that was a lie...:devil:

Re: Houndstooth ???
 

Yeah. But it sounded good.

Bought some black vinyl thats real soft like leather today. Bought 3 yds of it for 10$ Hoping thats going to be enough once i get the insert sections to go with it.

Re: Houndstooth ???
 

Where did you find the fabric?

I have not used these guys but There are some HT samples here in the plain Johnny with HT section. I like the seat pattern posted earlier in this forum better than the one on the link though.
