HOLY MOLY!

That is seriously impressive, excellent work. As someone who has tangled with a sewing machine before, that's amazing.

Wow . . . :dance:

Thanks guys and gal!
This was just going to be a trial run, but the shifter and side panels turned out pretty nice, I think. I have about 3 hours wrapped up in what I've done so far, but some of that was spent figuring out how to do seams with leather that looked good but weren't to difficult to do. Now that I've got it figured out, it will go faster.

Bruce: I agree. That e-brake just isn't sitting well with me. I need to roll it back to add some batting anyway, so I'm going to make a new handle piece (I made the e-brake cover in two pieces) that has just a single white stripe on top that is 1cm wide on the handle piece only, not the entire e-brake. I think that will look 10 times better

Left to do; storage compartment lid and side panels, door pocket covers, and somewhere down the line, steering wheel and gauge pod
