I finished re-doing the rear seat of my 66 Squareback. One more thing done in preparation for the trip to Oregon for the Invasion.

A few months ago I did a cartoon for a friend of mine that works for a automotive leather supplier. He got me a complete hide to match the leather Mustang seats I have in Sophy..

A few weeks ago, I marked the rear seat up with a panel and sew pattern to match the front seats and the cut the seat cover up to make templates.

....that is the leather hide on my bed, not my comforter. Very Happy

Last week I cut the the leather up into the various pieces for the new seat cover.

Seat Back

I then took them out to my buddy, Jonce Fancher of Fancher's Upholstery, and he stitched them together for me. And finally, today, I put the new leather covers on the seats along with some new foam padding. Here is the finally result.

Can't wait to get them back in the car after getting her new embroidered door panels back.

Looks good John, and should look even better in the car. Cool Nothing makes the inside of the car look better than a new interior. Very Happy
