Taco Trim - Auto Upholstery

🛠️ Bench Seat Revival on this 1962 Plymouth! 🛠️

This customer originally just wanted a simple patch repair to get the seat back in shape. But after looking through our materials, we were able to match the original factory color for the car! 🙌

The best part? Taco himself recovered the seat and gave it his stamp of approval. 💯 There’s something special about preserving the look and history of a classic, especially when the founder who built this shop gets to bring it back to life.

At Taco Trim Shop, we believe every classic deserves the chance to keep its original character whenever possible. 🖤

📍Serving Southern Illinois since 1960.

Story Time… and what a story we have to share! ❤️

What a weekend! We had the opportunity to celebrate South Side Lumber’s 80th Anniversary and take in “The Last Run” at Street Machine Nationals. It was incredible to see so many amazing vehicles, reconnect with familiar faces, and be part of such historic events.

It reminded us just how blessed we are to be part of a community that values craftsmanship, tradition, and the people behind the businesses that have served generations.

Part 4 | Complete Custom Interior Restoration 🔥

This 1923 T Bucket came to us after suffering storm damage, and the customer trusted us with a complete interior restoration.

✅ Complete custom interior
✅ Convertible top
✅ Custom cooler cover
✅ Two custom trunks

This was easily one of the most detailed and time-consuming projects we’ve tackled. Every piece had to be custom fit, and the attention to detail was everything on this build.

But can we talk about that bench seat?! 😮‍💨🔥

Ready for Street Machine Weekend!
