Some of you may have seen me post yesterday that I had a nutty idea. Well, here it is. I am one of the world's leading cheapskates. I bought this Dino wheel from a guy on the board here. It needed work (which he made clear in the beginning). So it has sat in my trunk the last few months. I finally took it in to my local uhpolstery guy who decided to confirm to me that he has been sniffing too much automotive uhpolstery glue - he wanted $600 to re wrap the wheel from scratch. That was bogus. I have also been checking on line and have not been able to find a rewrap lit for it form anyone, except at about $250. That is just for kit. I still think a little high. Next up, my local shoe repair guy - his blank gaze said it all...

So what am I going to do. I check with about the only place in town that sells leather - thinking "HECK, I WILL DO THIS MYSELF". They want $75 for a half hide. I figure that is not bad. Oh man, then it hits me... the mother of all cheapskate ideas. I start to wonder if I can find an old leather coat or skirt or something, and I will use it for the materials. I remember that we have an old black leather coat hat my youngest daughter has outgrown! Bing bing bing! Nope - wife tells me she donated it to Goodwill...

Hey, wait a minute... to be continued in part 2...
