WinterBear Report post Posted April 23, 2012 I think this one is still my favorite. I find the pattern, the floral, and the colors very aesthetically appealing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

276ccm Report post Posted July 31, 2015 Finally started on a few new seats.. I just ordered six seat pans and will make six different seats to show off at Oslo Motor Show in Octobre and Motorama Barcelona in November :-) And after some more tooling, coloring and dying.. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheShiek2008 Report post Posted August 9, 2015 You molded the leather around the seat before you tooled it? Why would you not mold it after tooling? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
276ccm Report post Posted September 12, 2015 I do both.. it´s just a way I feel comfortable with as I have seen so many seats, with the motive a little "off" center, and for me it would ruin all the work.. so I prefer to start holding, so I can place the motive as accurate as possible, then start the tooling, and then mold the rest after.. I learned all this by my self, and I found a way that works for me.. It has defiantly crossed my mind that I can try other methods, but this works and the clients are happy with the result :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
276ccm Report post Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) The Lucky 13 seat is all done: Started on a new skull seat.. going to try to paint this with acrylics.. well see how it ends :-) Also started another seat, with diamond stitching.. have a little sewing machine problem right now, but as soon as the timing is fixed, I´ll continue with this one.. The "Hold Fast" is done too.. :-) Edited September 12, 2015 by 276ccm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
