It's over 25 years since I built a fabric covered trials car body but I did the same as Ian and Dave and agree that the underlay material is very important if the finished job is going to look as it should. I sold that body in 2007 having done 8 full seasons of VSCC trialing and the fabric showed no signs of deterioration. I last saw it maybe 4 or 5 years ago on another trials car and it was still doing good service. After washing and drying, I always found a wipe over with Autoglym 'Vinyl & Rubber Care' kept it looking good.
