What I have now is a seat already done. I'd have to look to see how it was done. May be it's just stitched, which is fine. I want the simple hot rod look.

I'll make up a small panel of rolls and pleats compared to regular face sewn pleats . the big difference is the roll and pleats are all sewn from the back of the material where the regular pleats are sewn from the front /face of the material . Real roll and pleated seats are a lot more sewing and time .But they look great when you open the door to get in .it's the "real" old school look .

Re: Building CG's new interior

Really like the dash pad. Is that something you have to have the the pad or is it more of a slip cover?

Thanks Rick

The dash covers are made to go over your existing dash pad it's made to glue on , it's really pretty easy to install

remove your dash pad
stretch the new cover and glue on the back side and trim excess material
reinstall the dash pad
