Gave up on some of the leather.

Well my leather covered roll bar covers and dash horseshoe just wasn't working. The leather and trim adhesive interfered with the buttons and just couldn't get the leather to look fight on the covers. Tore off the leather, painted the covers. Did paint my shifter insert tho 😀

Thanks for the compliment but since that pic I decided that I got a little carried away on all that red leather. Tore it all off and started over ��
Dialed it back a bunch.

No red with gloss polyurethane clear coat. Its actually clear for wood birdhouses. Just playing around but I like that idea.
