    Looks great,Fannie.
    Night and day in the pics.
    Was most of it mold?? If so,I hope you used some diluted bleach to kill it off and keep it from coming back.
    I am assuming the car sat in a damp poorly ventilated barn/garage which can cause mold inside the car.

    WOW! Fannie, this the first time I have seen the progress you are making on your Beaumont, and I am amazed!
    You guys tore into that thing like jackels! :rofl2:Great job! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    You have a very cool wagon, and I can't wait to see it's transformation,
    but the item that most caught my eye is...

    I'm feeling nostalgic seeing those wagon parts sitting all over the place in the pic.:yup:

    That sewing machine would be a cool thing to have, for what it cost to have the edging sewn on to my cargo floor carpeting I could of bought one.:rolleyes:

    It would probably take a while to get enough practice to do seat covers, I could of bought the company that makes those machines for what those cost me to have done at the trim shop.:(
    You can buy Chevelle wagon seat covers and stuff Fannie, sell David that machine cheap.:rofl2:

    But they would be chevelle seat covers??? Why would I want those in my awesome Pontiac :D Hubby is a car upholsterer by trade. He had been wanting one of those machines at home for a while, so a couple of years ago I got him one for Xmas...shortly after his brother gave him another one:banghead3: whatever, now we have two...but only one with a table.

    Fannie was store(for a few years) in a very drafty place called Yarmouth :biglaugh:outdoors with the Atlantic ocean across the road. Most of the interior is completely covered with back mold. I used Spray Nine, clear warm water(changed it often) then followed up with Mothers Protectant. Almost looks new :D

    REALLY :) That's awesome...so you know about the fog, the rain, the fog, the snow, the fog, the dampness. Pretty place though when it's not foggy :biglaugh:

    Looking Good fannie!:tiphat: I My eye also cout that sewing machine. A few years back (6-7 years ago) we bout new a surger sewing machine for my daughter who sews. At the time, had I have know of what they can do I would have been more involved on the purchase. I think we spent close to 2 grand but if I could do it again I would'nt have cheaped out......I had no idea of the potencial:(


    Nice job cleaning up the old interiour also, I've done a few "molds restore" in the past also. Borax with Simple Green, shop vac, and a industrial fan have been my tools. The whole mold thing is creapy to me so after all that I would hand bottle spray a de-mold/bacteria chemical. I don't have a brand name but got the product from flood/fire/home disater clean up guys.

    Right on! Once I get my renos down to a dull roar, I'm gonna get on to modifying mine for a Turbocharger. Then watch the fuel mileage go way up, and even throw in water injection. Hopefully this year. These sixes have lots of low end torque (city driving), but lose on the highway. With a Turbo, you'll see more cars in the rearview mirror. :biglaugh:

    Now about that sewing machine... Who's the maestro?

    Total understatement! Newfies are born with a homing device! :rofl2:

    My dad hired Newfies for the family business! Every year they'd get together and go back home bye! :rofl2: And come back. :tiphat:
