Very nice! Looking at the seats you do gives me the motivation and inspiration to rip mine off and re do it! How did you get that nice gray? Is it acrylic?

All my stiching is by hand, I dont have a machine. I mold the leather to the bottom and secure it with doubleside tape. Then I mold the top over 1/2" foam and let it dry. the take off both and clamp them back together and use a 4 prong flat punch to punch the holes. Then I use a saddle stich and wax thread. Most of my seats only have about 1/2" of padding in them. These solos mainly get the suspension from the springs. I have done alot of them with no padding at all, just leather on top of the pan.

Thanks for the kutos!

Thanks for the kutos! Ya its a mixture. I used the white Tandy acrylic and mixed in just a drop or two of black acrylic and then thin it down for better penatration. It has worked well before for me.

Thanks
