  3. when sewing belts, is it best to apply the final finish like resoleen, before or after the stitching?

  5. Once you get your Hands on one, might could make a fiberglass mold of it for making future seats

  12. Thanks for all comments, keep n comin, good for learn n I used a Groover then when I got a little off the gap showed,wouldn't have showed soo bad if I had grooved before dye.
