here's my fix for the firebrid console lid plague! (mine was so busted up, and so was every one ive ever seen in the junkyard!) so i made a new one. made a wood blank of the basic shape, and drille mounting holes. got some nice vinyl from joann fabric, got a leather awl for sewing leather....oh and some foam, and the rest is history.

the flames are stiched! a little extra foam around the licks helps them really pop.

 

looks nice, good job

 

i dont like it , it looks gay with the flames and the vinyl or leather looks out of place. sorry for the negative but you probably want the truth .

 

fair enough.


as far as the vinyl looking out of place, i thought so too, and that's why i covered the plastic center part of the console in front of it with it too (all the way to right past the shift ****). that you cannot really see in the pic.

 

Yea, the flame looks out of place too, looks like the stiching is a bit crooked. Other than that, it looks like a good job done, just need to perfect the shape of it.

 

I am not too sure of the flames but I got to give ya props for effort. Good job. First time I have seen someone do a lid before.

 

right after seeing this, i have decided to take mine off and redo it. im nto making a new one, i took the stock black stuff off of it and im replacing it with vinyl with a 3d chevy bowtie in it, jsut like my headliner. that will be 2 things that no1 else has that i do hahaha

 

I think that it looks sweet!!! Good job...

I think it looks good...its original. Is it perfect, no... but its hand made and prolly his first time sewing leather(it sucks btw). I think its bad*ss. Good job!
