    Here is a picture of my new seat that my wife covered for me. The eagle hopefully will compliment the outside scheme. The rest of the interior will be done in the same silver and red.

    Your seat looks fantastic. I've always been intrigued by upolsterers, and how they get those seams just right. Your wife's talented.

    As you are - your car will look great when it all comes together.

    I guess you're right about the extra paint layers.
    Just wouldn't look right with some stars under and some over the blue.

    Rock on dude - you're actually doing it - I'm just arm-chairing!!!!!!

    I have ZERO talent when it comes to this stuff. All I did with the paint was buy it, help sand it, and help tape off the flames once they were laid out on the car.

    My wife's family runs a shop and she worked part-time as a teenager doing seats. She is now a Nurse, but by the way the seats turned out she still has talent. After she gets finished with mine she is going to redo her Mustang I bought her a couple of weeks ago.

    One thing is for sure I have a new respect for you guys that paint for numerous reasons. It's time consuming, expensive, and takes tons of talent. I helped sand on the car in different stages, and I also helped mask off the flames once they were laid out, and it really takes time and patience. I now fully understand why it costs what is does to get a car painted. Just my supplies alone costed over $1,500
