Thread: Let's see your projects

Tweet

I thought that I would start this thread so folks could share their pictures of project they are working on.

Here is my latest project. I am doing a custom spider web design on a set of seats for a 1959 Impala. The owner wanted to mix some old school looks with the webbing on green metallic Naugahyde. I added the diamond pleat to give it the old school look and feel.

A jod like this will drive you crazy.

Very nice work. Looks great!!! Who couldnt like that

I know that had to be hard getting everthing to line up, good job.

Thats pretty cool, alot tedius on the stiching time ... but cool !! nice job. Are they keeping you busy over there ?

This is a 55 we did a couple of monhts ago. we did it in leather, but wanted to keep it in a factory style for looks .

Very cool look. The time that went into that had to be considerable.

With my new machine I am having to learn everything in a trail and error way. After running about 40 miles or so of thread I am just now getting to the place were I can sew a straight line some of the time. When I look at a piece like that it makes me want to learn more. Good work!!

I asked Steve why he doesn't put those details in there also, he said it can cover up some details for the upholstery shop. Makes sense, this is to show exactly what I want from the poultry shop, so there is no confusion.

That 55 is beautiful, if I had to choose one car it would be the 55 HT. In the late 60's I had a 55 HT. factory power windows, and seat. I had 55's 56's 57's still have a project 55 2dr. sedan in the garage but you just can't beat the hard top. You really did an outstanding job.

Ken has way too many 32’s one of his would be my second choice.

You did a great job on the '55 Chevy. Leather adds a touch of class to the interior for sure.

I try and not shop walmart Thank you

Here's the interior of my 50 Stude Champion. I widened the dash 4" to clear the A/C heater defroster. I'm working on the center console for the CD/DVD player. Ihaven't decided what to do with the rest of the interior but something to match the the 6 way power leather seats and console from a 2003 Trailblazer.

Not bad,Good sew work

beautiful work there 1954Merc!! Back in the late 60s I had a 55 Chev that had red and white metalflake interior. If your old enough, you'll remember that was a slick plastic material. I doubt they even make the stuff anymore, and it was a short lived fad even in it's day, but the green material you're using reminds me of that stuff, and concequently my 55. I sure miss that old girl. she was a runner.

I am having trouble trying to choose a color to trim my vauxhall, its hard to pic a color from just a small sample patch, any suggestions which color trim would go best with this violet color.
