Ron, thanks. If I knew what I was doing, it wouldn't take so long. Trial by fire ya know. I ended up running out of perforated so I'm going to send another hide to that place you recommended in Cal... they were good. I've been at this interior now for a couple months and I was laying on the couch the other day thinking, ya know if somebody breaks into my house and robs the place while I'm at work.. please just don't steal the leather hides in the dining room or I'm screwed!!

Thanks Trey, I only have him help if I need sewing done. I'm doing the door panels and and center console myself and it's slow going. Alot of time on the computer trying to figure it out. Just the other day I get the inserts done on the passenger side, took me about a day and a half trying to get everything to fit right and wrapped, I then fit them on the main panel and the fit great and suddenly noticed I used regular leather instead of perforated which I used on the drivers side to match the inserts on the seats. It got very loud in my house for the next 5 minutes or so It's hell to get old. It's very nice having Tracy(Recovery Room) and Shannon(Interiors by Shannon) on the board to help and get ideas from, Two extraordinary upholsterers as we all know.

Good weather so I got to pull the car outside today. Except for a few items to paint black, I finished the interior panels today. Now on to the center console.
