Talking Preview: New custom upholstery.

Alright, my stepdad and I are reupholstering my seats in my 30th anniversary Z-28. I'm going for something of a stock look with a little bit of a custom flare.

It's GM arctic white vinyl and orange/black houndstooth. They're the same pattern as the factory houndstooth seats, just orange/black instead of white/black. It'll tie in with the stripes perfectly. This is going to be the centerpiece of the car. These pictures just don't do justice to how incredible these seats really look.

I'm going to retain the 30th anniversary embroidery, I just have to get the old ones digitized and recreated on new material. It's going to look amazing when it's all finished. I'll definitely be updating when they're done.

The bottom of the cushion? I can't take one right now, but there's one hog ring in the gray right behind the metal loop. It attaches right in the center to the metal rod running through the foam. On the back, there are three hog rings and one each on the side. You also ring the corners together on the back end to tie them together. (all of this is on the thin gray material) If I remember, I'll try to get you some pictures this afternoon.
