Leather Car - Literally

Recommended Posts

Not mine but since I was on the topic of all the things you can do with leather - here is a guy who covered a car in leather.

LEATHER CAR

I didn't know where to put it so mods feel free to move it where appropriate.

Other than that there are any number of interesting videos on YouTube and Google Video about leather and leather craft.

Johanna, do you think a videos section would be good where we can post links to online videos we make or find?

It's different for that's sure ! Is that a 4 door VW ? Makes me wonder how many sides it took and how long to cover it.

In the credits the car was listed as a Renault. I thought Beetle at first too but something was off. I bet it's a Renault knockoff of the beetle. I have never seen one before and of course the first one happens to be covered in leather.

Check out the guy's website - www.suncoastleather.com He took a whole gator and covered a motorcycle with it. He has some pretty wild leather projects there and on youtube.

To each his/her own.

I'm all about being creative, but i"m sure I would draw the line way before I spent the money to do that.

I did think of a hypothetical situation: If they were to get caught out in the rain, is the engine compartment hot enough to shrink the leather as it dries?
