Interior Views - '72 Morgan 4/4




On the return trip from taking the '46 Chevy Panel Truck to the woodworking shop, we stopped by our friends at Portage Trim in Ravenna, OH. to pick up the '72 Morgan 4/4. Even in darkness (it was *:30 PM when we arrived), the rich beauty of the tan leather interior was evident.......the seats, doors and dash all really popped. Portage also created a beautiful Tonneau cover and convertible top to provide the finishing touch.
Now that the car is back at our shop, we'll focus on the installation of the audio components and final assembly. The first step has been to thoroughly mask off the interior components to avoid dirt/damage as we work. This includes removing the seats and carpeting and taping off the doors, windscreen and other interior areas. Our goal is to have the car completed by the end of October so we can take it on some test drives and final tweaks.
We've nominated the Morgan for inclusion in the 2010 Amelia Island Concours 'd Elegance and a waiting to hear if it has been accepted. As the Morgan project nears completion we'll begin to focus our attention on the HRG Coupe and Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster.
