Let's see your projects
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 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!!

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.

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.

The last couple of weeks have been spent waiting on parts and getting the engine ready to put in the car. I found a manifold (turned out the guy I bought the center sump oil pan from had one). It’s...
