Custom Auto Interiors, Don Taylor and Ron "the Stitcher" Mangus - Walk down the flight line of any EAA fly-in and you are bound to notice the beautiful custom interiors of many high performance custom built aircraft. This book will show you how it's done and teach you what you need to know to do it yourself.
Of the many interior installation books we reviewed, this was by far the best choice. Even though it was written primarily for autos; its emphasis on antique restorations and hot rods makes it the most applicable for installations in our newly built aircraft cabins.
Side panels, headliners, carpeting, seats, and special trim are covered from the planning stage to the choices of materials, to fabrication and installation. It is highly illustrated with easy step by step instructions for each procedure.
If you want your aircraft to have the look and feel of a high performance Ferrari or want to learn the techniques involved for building an award winning aircraft, this Custom Interiors book will get you on the way.
