keep us updated when you get to it

 

so i went to a local upholstery shop and bought some 1/2" foam, should look nice, i figured 1/4" would be too thin :p
while i was there i got a quote on getting my seat guts done in suede
$300 for the 2 front seats and the rear bench, i might consider doing it sometime early next year

 

i'll trade you my seats if you're just going to do them in suede lol

 

Thats pretty good price to get that done, id do mine with suede inserts but i got the 2 tone interior

 

:p im not doing the entire seats dude! just the centers
so it can be suede and leather

i thought it was a decent price, im really considering it though
wish i had two tone interior too

 

so i never did find the jigsaw had to go buy some cheap one at the pawn shop got the job well done though so that was good i guess
I Should have everything done before this weekend if i get my suede fabric in the mail soon

anyways onto the pics!!.....

drilled 4 holes through the chevy template and through both boards to ensure everything lined up in the end....


2nd board, tracing the bowtie.....


going to raise the bowtie 1" with these, they are now cut in half but first i drilled a hole through them for the screws to go through....


painted them black just in case....


trimmed and placed together the two pieces to insure everything lined up, and yup everything fits and looks great!!




threw the led's under the bowtie, should light up a little better once its all done


trimmed the foam...


now i just have to wait for the fabric to get here!! :p
until then, thats it for now....

 

its getting there lol

 

Sweeeet!! Very nice. I like the raised bow tie idea.

 

haha yup

thanks man

 

the project was a total fail its in the trash now
