Soundline Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 It’s in... Jesus.. long day of this shit. I’ll take pictures later. I’m suuuuuper doubtful it’ll make it to Canby this year... but hey, it’s not for lack of effort. 3 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I’d just like to point out... this is where I started. 4 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Do it a few more times and we may have to do mine. Looks great, bro. Keep at it. 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I kept the original and I plan on making a leather cover once I’m finished with the other parts of this build. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I like leather and just recently put a pair of buckets in the front from a Subaru. Spent some time in an MG when younger and the seat molds to your ass shape (over time) just like a baseball glove. It's resilient, easy to clean and wears well. Most of all it's 'organic' and recycling a left over by-product from the production of steaks, which taste really good. Secondary... it's a 'bite me' to animal rights activists and vegans. 3 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 The seat looks great, good work! 1 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 The canvas, batting, and jute I used are el naturale. The foam isn’t... but I couldn’t find any that was. To offset that I’ll see if I can import some chromium tanned leather. And some mercury set felt... just for effect. 2 Quote Link to comment

Thanks buddy! That site is a gold mine. I could recreate the stock vinyl cover basket weave style in brown for a few hundred dollars. Or I could do a green croc skin... either way I’m leaving the canvas base I have on there now. This build could be fucking crazy. Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Aaaaaaaand... here we are again. Let me answer a few questions I doubt you’ll ask, but let’s pretend. Yes, I still have this. I still have a plan for it. It runs and I actually drove it around today. Life got in the way of Ratsun Life, but I’m back so it’s time to get back to work. 4 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I need you to scrounge that brain of yours and see if you can remember where you got your carpet, is it sitting any better? Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Looked it up and it was here. https://www.carparts.com/carpet-kit/newark-auto-products/newf230211301 and... no. It sucks. 3 stars at best. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Alright thanks. Would a steam machine help any with some stretch or just fuck that product better off buying something else? 1 Quote Link to comment

I’ll try a heat gun and let you know what I think. 5 hours ago, ]2eDeYe said: Running and driving is a good place to be. 🙂 Very much so. Once I finish with my tool upgrades I’ll start collecting KA24E parts. I know of a guy who makes mounts and suggested the engine. Lol 2 Quote Link to comment

Soundline Posted March 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 One of the fun things about moving and the completely remodeling a shop is breaking things. Since my dust bin died, a valiant and brave death, it’s been replaced with this. I figure there’s at least one old school guy here that recognizes Moon Eyes Yokohama. 2 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted March 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Sooo.... paint pick and prep time. Eastwood offers a discount for frosty c***s so I’ll be going through them. I’m leaning towards that light blue. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 That first blue though 1 Quote Link to comment
Soundline Posted March 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 It’s a little to close to my car’s color though. But damn that would be a good color. Then I’d like to do a nice grey on the bay. Quote Link to comment
