Curious about what product.
Looks great!

Slow&Rusty:

Looks good. You can get rid of the wrinkles with a hand held steamer....

Thanks guys, these are brand new leather skins I purchased and I rebuilt the seats entirely taking them down to their bare frame, new foam padding, horse hair and clips incl. cleaning all the electric motors. Its a fairly big job and a few weekends worth of work, but the smell and the "look" once the door is open makes it worthwhile. I've never attempted this before at home, but wasn't bad and if I can do it, anyone can!

Those seats turned out fantastic

That looks way harder than doing the seats in a bug or a 914

What vehicle are they from?

If I were to take a guess an ‘80’s MBZ SEC?

Yasin that turned out fantastic!

Thanks! Yes its a fair bit of work but I've tackled way harder projects at home, these seats are also very heavy with all the motors etc so that makes it tougher. I would like to try my hand at some leather work in the future, now that I have some experience under my belt.

Thank you my friend!

Heartwarming pics on this Thanksgiving Day. They do grow up so fast!

From wine in Germany in 1971 to Captain in G650, flying left seat with Dad in right! FL410, somewhere over the east coast.

That is seriously cool.

NO doubt!

That cockpit is amazing, what aircraft is that exactly? Does it have a windshield you are looking out of? :confused:

Dumb questions from a non-aviator but when landing, are you using visual data through windshield or just electronics?

Today, 90 and 65 pounds, left to right, what is that, 10 pounds a month? 6 month old Dutch Shepherd, his feet still have that snowshoe thing working. That works out to like a buck and a quarter fully grown, I think. :eek:
