Looking for a car upholsterer
 
Hi I'm a new Kirkham owner kmp005 . I live in West Lebanon NH and was looking for a little help finding a good upholsterer to put in new carpet . Thank you for your help.

G & L Interiors in Kittery, Me. 207-439-9619 Does quality automotive interior work. They helped me with my interior needs and also down sized and refit a superformance top that I picked up to fit my ERA. They did a good job at a very reasonable price. They even did it while I waited via pre-made appt. They do work on a lot of British cars. You might mention my name, who's knows they might remember me. Good luck with your search.

Silversmith, thank you very much for the info. Darren

Toms Tops n trim in Laconia does great work for me and is well familiar with Cobras. Nice to see a K car in the hood welcome aboard.

Mickmate, thank you.

You're welcome, I'm sure Sages guys are good too, he is a discerning Cobra guy. I have a set of patterns for the carpet you're welcome to borrow. That really helps the job along if you don't have patterns or pre cut material. We do the rug in traditional Wilton wool but if you don't want the wet dog smell, and you know you'll get caught out sometime, then the German Mercedes velour is a lovely rug for these things. Local Cobra guys get together next weekend if you want to meet them.http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/new-...14-2015-a.html

Hello MA

Like Nick said, we'll be glad to have you. We meet at the Windmill Restaurant once a month for breakfast on 2nd Sat. We'd be glad to have you this Sat at 9. We don't even have that "new guy buys for the whole bunch" policy!

Tom Dole

See you there!

Thanks a lot guys for all your help so far.. I don't think I can make breakfast this time but I will take a rain check.. Where is the Windmill Restaurant ?

doleauto 11-09-2015 02:53 PM

The Windmill is in Concord.

Windmill Family Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch - Concord, NH - Reviews - Photos - Menu - Yelp

They are right next door to Arnie's burger joint. Arnie's has a cruise night every Tue during the summer.

I thought the name " windmill " sounded familiar . i should have known that because I have two meetings a month at the red blazer in Concord. Another thing I'm looking for is the dual fan set up .

mickmate 11-09-2015 07:44 PM

We'll see you sometime soon. You have the bar and brackets right? Fan blades and motors are readily available. Cooling System : Acton Custom Enterprises, Custom Metal for Cobras

I do not have anything yet. I've been trying to find the whole package if possible.

Arvin 11-10-2015 03:06 PM

Do you have the car yet? If not, have Kirkhams ship it up to SLC to J&S Customs. Jason does the upholstery for Dave Kindig - awesome!

Silversmith 11-10-2015 05:11 PM

If you're looking for a package deal on parts and Cobra upgrades and refits/ maintenance. You would be hard-pressed to find a better supplier/complete restorer shop than Acton Customs/Mickmate. He covers all the bases and does it well! :cool:

Oh yes. "Welcome to the Addiction!! There IS no Cure !! "

I would strongly disagree with that one, I could've and should've bought a kirkham over this cobbled together ACE3001:

Darren, i would ask around in the local Cobra community about this rant/claim. I think you will find that it does not hold true for the vast, vast majority of Cobra owners who have done business with Nick. IMO he is honest, true and performs his business operations with excellent craftsmanship and fair prices. But as you can see you do have a good selection of choices for your Cobra needs. Again Good Luck! & welcome to the Addiction!;)

ScratchBuilder 11-10-2015 08:16 PM

I can support my rant with emails, invoices, etc and may post those up somewhere.

Jamo 11-10-2015 10:48 PM

Not here...not for the next few weeks or so.

Stalk again when you return and that will be it.

There is a Guy here in Richmond VT that does high end work. His prices seemed extremely high to me but, I'm pretty confident his work is top notch.
