It is worth some research and effort to get that look. Is it available from Klipsch, Crites or Metropolis Lakes Outfitters? If not, they might be able to point you in the right direction. I look forward to seeing and hearing them when you’re done. What motor is in your father’s Chevelle? 123stitch has a 18 count ivory that looks close as a match.

mopardave Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Just spoke with Duracrest. $100/yd with a 2 yd minimum. I think I might try the ivory from 123stitch. He did give me a tip on application thou. The grill needs to be bowed inward as you apply fabric or it with sag. Needs to be steamed as well to get wrinkles out.

pioneerhip Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Did you check Wendell Fabrics? I know they will send free samples because I have 5 of them on the way for my Cornscalas 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems expensive, but maybe that's what going rate is. I'm sure someone around here should know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopardave Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 I found an off white in the 18 count linen at 123stitch that I really like. I ordered it. I'll see what I like best and send the other back. The lambs wool that Klipsch uses looks closer to white than the lambs wool from 123stitch.

Thanks the "B" means 8 ohms, the "C" means 4 ohms, but they have other different specs besides impedance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopardave Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Spent a few more hours on the Cornscala project as I was at my dads for the weekend. I sprayed the fronts heavy and the finish looks much nicer than the backs. The backs looked a bit blotchy, but they were still wet when I left. I may need to respray the backs one more time. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fronts turned out nicer because there was some left over finish that worked like primer/fill. I'm guessing you used the spray can over the raw plywood. Spray painting raw plywood or MDF can be an exercise in futility with blotches. Black latex (be it flat/semi or even gloss) applied with a 3/8" knap roller works pretty well. It leaves a bit of textured finish however. Nonetheless, Ace rattle cans are cheap, and you're pretty much committed by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a 1972 Chevy Malibu SS sitting in the driveway? Never mind, I went back a page and read your father's Chevelle. Super nice, 454 4-speed?

I would look good in that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
