Thumbs up Y-TRY's latest collaboration.....Corbeau CR1 Deluxe's

They met in a crowded upholstry shop. A vintage set of '68 Camaro Deluxe buckets and a perfectly good, brand new, set of Corbeau CR1's......



Noone said it would last because of the age difference. He was a classic, she was a young pup. But they got together and created the best of both worlds......



If you look close, you can see the amount of detail carried over. Some seams had to be changed for structural reasons, but we used the same grain of vinyl and welting throughout, as well as OEM emblems.

As a matter of fact, they had twins....



And they lived happliy ever after...



As you can see, my idea was to apply as much of the original design of the '68 Deluxe seats onto a modern seat. What was an idea became a vision. The vision became a series of sketches. The sketches became a plan. The plan- a challenge. The challenge, a collaboration. I had to take my sketches and plan to several shops before I had the right match.

I am very happy with how well my vision was realized. To see the seats IN the car is to understand the vision. The seats look as though they were meant to be there, as they match the rear seat perfectly. I think it was successful. How about you?
