[Dirty Harry]

Here are some more pics Paul.
Normaly the pleated curtain behind the wardrobe is stapeled to a plywood panel,i did mine the same way as the other curtains but i'm planning to make some sort of jailbars in the closet so when you pack it up it won't show on the outside

Sorry, but I'm going to have to call you down on this, you have whey too many ruffles on that curtain. It's the kind of thing that Julian "Ruffle Queen" Macdonald would surely wince at. :shock:

Drilled old pop rivets that were snapped in the original holes & tried to reuse them with new rivets.

Just the front windscreen left.

Popers so nice and easy....For Tracy!

The Colonel done good! (Tracy) :mrgreen:

Did some van come with the curtain tie back in all black? mine has two, one either side on the b-pillar under the seat belts, they look identical to the white ones with beige buttons but are all black. Sadly they are the only ones on the van.. although the icebook has a white/beige strap that holds it shut

Good Morning! I've been asked to make new clothes for a 1971 bus, her name is Lola! I too, need proper window dimensions, making tab top and bottom curtain, tie-die pattern of course! Be well and happy everyone, thanks in advance for any help!

 

[annamarie58]

Sorry to bother, but, I guess I'm really trying to ask if Lola (1971) is the same dimensions of your brilliant buses? Dirty Harry and Myvanmyway. You all have done an amazing job with the photo's and instructions! Thanks again!

Yea I think a full set is about £280.. :shock:
They didnt have a problem shifting them... big market for these I think.

They are £310 now as I'm using a different supplier for the fabric which is slight thicker now. I also have these on flea bay.
