your pictures dont do it justice.. or show the right shade of red

[Wardie]

The early tails look sweet with late bumpers. Nice job with the car so far!

Thanks bud!

Well todays been productive! Redyed my steering wheel and finished up the coats on the back seat. Got ADD got dye and dyed my floor mats red. They are alittle darker than I would like. Then again, no one will notice anyway. Decided to make my carpet black, rather than red. Going to rip out the drivers seat + door cards next weekend and dye those and rip out the carpet and get that all cleaned and dyed.

Pictures from today:

Just a small update, just ordered a short shifter. Hog rings should be coming soon, got one seat done. Just prepped the rear / door cards this is the current status of my room.



This is the true color of the dye before buffing

So it started to rain, if its nice tomorrow I will get some pictures.

EDIT: We tried but it started to down pour and pictures didn't turn out.

What dye did you use? Those look like they are coming along nicely

Thanks, I am using Leatherique, Ive heard good and bad things about it. Its a learning experience for sure. I practiced on a crap bolster just to get a feel for it and you need to prep like no other or it basically sits on top and is latex. Should be interesting how this turns out.

Its been a awhile, just been waiting on goodies to arrive and have some time to work on this. This has been my night, prepping one seat right now. Got impatient and did a light coat on one of the bolsters to test the color. It looks a lot brighter in the photos. Its a bit brighter than Cardinal, way darker in person. I will grab better pictures when I get the full seat done.

I dont ever seen pre-lift model with facelift parts, looks cool :)

[Wardie]

If you are four to six months out on the seats i'm getting set up and can help for a great price.

Thanks I will keep it in mind, I just bought a bunch of leather dye and was going to try my hand at that first. Do keep in contact with me though, although shipping my seats out so far is going to cost a good penny!
