Started attaching leather. I planned an additional 1.5” overlap on the pattern to wrap over the edge and to allow enough to staple. Maybe a little overkill on the amount, but when covering the curves, I needed extra to trim to get an even, smooth finish. On the lid, I had the leather wrap over the hinge to hide, making sure I kept a little loose to allow for the opening and closing of the lid.
Next I’ll install the black trunk liner on the inner surfaces. I’ll glue that down and cover the staples for a cleaner look.
