Who is making seat upholstery kits now?

You're talking about the ebay guy, not Ninestitch? He's been around quite a while, and used to do a ton of seats here, but stopped at some point...?

Jesus tape, wow. Good thing the old coachbuilders didn't know about that!

Just discovered this project, fantastic idea!

Questions -
1. How did you get a scan of a 450S? There aren't many.

2. How is the aluminum sheet connected to the tube...
