Littlewood Design

I created a modern twist to this classic from the eighties. This Lund has been with it’s present owner for forty years of service. The boat has been well preserved but the upholstery was tired and due for replacement. I penned some sketches, consulted with the owner and went all in for this interior. New polyethylene shells up front. New marine grade plywood with added end cut preservative In the rear bench. Long Life foam cut for support and comfort. Marine grade vinyls and accessories throughout. The customer provided direction and Inputs throughout the process from artistic choices to added features such as the net phone pockets, hidden snap fastening and 1” bolstering. Colour choice is a nod to the original design with a modern taste.

Wrinkles removed with steam and massaging. Compare this with previous photo when first assembled.

I enjoyed restoring these Mercury Capri seats to near original. I love those intersecting curves and how it pulls out over the shape. Precision , 8 mm (5/16”) seam allowances and heat 😁!

Progress on a 1970s Challenger Cinvertible top. Original pads were fairly good and easily restored. I have removed and installed the window eight times so far and the main section isn’t on yet. No wonder many dislike or can’t do this job. My hat is off to those who can do it with only removing the tack bars maybe four times.

Tiny #4 Phillips chrome oval head screws countersunk look very original. Closing the plastic strips at rear is a two person job. Black duct tape covers exposed foam.
