VW Bay Window Full Width Rock & Roll Bed................

Hello to you all..... Here are some pictures and info on a rock and roll bed which i have just done.....hope you like what you see and thanks for all the great feed back you have given me.... Colin

This shows the bus fitted with the rock and roll seat and back fitted, this shows the third cushion foam being cut to fit and working out the alignment of the tuck and roll.


A very nice blue vinyl was chosen to compliment some excising colours in the van....my little book or my bible they call it at the shop..

..


A action shot showing me profiling the foam, this is a special foam cuter that i use. A good tip for cutting foam is to use an electric calving knife they do the same job and are easy to get hold of.


 

Measure measure measure....then cut once.........even after all these years i still do this and as my mum says better safe than sorry.....this shows the top panel, the side boarder and the piping cut into strips ready for sewing.


 

Getting there.....this shows the top panel with the tuck and roll style being sewn in to the vinyl.


 

A closer pick.... you can see the back all in place , as you can see marking out the foam to make sure all the patterns line up....


 

There the seat in place, hope you can see the look in the top panel....with piped side boarder all that needs doing is the other two cushions.......not before a cuppa tea.....

 

There all done, surprising what a cuppa tea can do...lol. I hope this shows you how important measurements are to get this finished look, nothing worse than the lines not matching up. well mine did PHEW....
.

The final shot, the seat in place with the camper ready to go.... customer was over the moon.....COOL. hope you looked what you see, if you need any advice please contact me and I'll be glad to help you.
Colin.
