It was time to catch up with Gil while he and his team are tackling the Artie’s Party Cruiser all weekend. The wagon will be auctioned off and proceeds will go to the Ronald McDonald House of Central New York on Sept, 21 at Saratoga Auto Auction in Saratoga Springs, NY.

His commitment to complete the project within a week of the Syracuse Nationals, and to get things done in addition to being an able interior shop, paint shop, car audio shop, metal fabrication shop and carpentry shop is awesome.

Sitting down with Gil during the RMH build, he told me what makes GilliN Auto Interiors one of the best shops on the East Coast.

They are a full service upholstery company specializing in Automotive Upholstery & Convertible Tops. Restore your vehicle’s classic interior to original condition and revive its unique character, or design a brand new, custom theme that will stand out from the rest. Whatever your design style, the shop will maximize function and create an enjoyable driving environment with a well planned and meticulously executed interior. They have the largest team in Orange County New York and can get your project done on time & on budget!

Established in 2006, GilliN Auto Interiors was born from the motivation and creativity of its founders. After successful careers in the corporate world, they embarked on a journey to follow their passion for upholstery and interior design while employing their unique expertise in the automotive, home and commercial arenas.

Merging talent, experience and attention to detail, the GilliN team can help you realize your custom vision. The team prides itself on preserving authentic characteristics and breathing new life into automobiles, furniture, homes and business spaces.
