Seats came back
I got my seats back, the girl did an great job with her sewing, she went right off the sketch; I know a lot of people will not like them. I like them and thats what counts, I am going for the resto-rod look. I plan to fiberglass an old console and paint the sides blue (color of my stripes) and do the top in brushed aluminum. This is how I plan to tie in the seats to the cars look.

Re: Seats came back
Yes, trust me I was a little skeptical when we were picking out the material, The pictures don't do it justice. When we go to the auctions and look at rest-rods and custom cars this interior will be tame by comparison. I am thinking the custom console (a little further down the road) and the brushed aluminum accents will tie it all together. If it doesent I will change the headrest and inside sections to black.

Re: Seats came back
they could look cool, (depending on the rest of the interior) but I think the bowties look a little lumpy, making them look less than professionally done. I would have ordered a stitching to get the same effect.

Re: Seats came back
They are stitched into the material and embosed so that they stand out

Re: Seats came back
from the pictures, they don't look razor straight, kind of lumpy and pillow like Maybe it's just the angle of the pic

Re: Seats came back
Hmmm.
I think they would look pretty sharp in a 82' Pace Car replica.

Re: Seats came back
This is the original sketch done on a piece of scrap paper, Once I get the entire outside done, all the suspension, rearend and the motor, dam I have a lot to do, than I will put the interior together.
