Reply to "Shaping 550 Fenders..."

Carey and I have been collecting photos of original 550s in an attempt to learn about the details of the interiors.

I was able to see the European Collectibles’ 550 in person last March (2019), and got some up close photos. We also ended up talking to Andrew Hosking, owner of the type550.com site, who has provided many photos and guidance for this build. 

Carey suspected that the vinyl probably wouldn’t stay in place too well along the door thresholds or at the top of the firewall without some aluminum ferrules. I reached out to Andrew, and he confirmed Carey’s suspicions. 

Cool photos to see — these are of another French blue car that was done by a restoration shop in Europe. Cool little details. I love this stuff. Carey: not so much. LMFAO
