    Recovery Room your works looks great and it's always clean with nice lines just how I like my interiors to look. I think sometimes people just do way to much and they forget that the car is suppose to be the main focal point and then the interior.

    The Interior should be as important as the paint,engine area.Not an after thought.My customers come to me and want the inside to be as equally nice as the rest of the car,That is balanced with the rest of car

    What I'd like to see is what's under all that nicely stitched leather. How It's all put together. I'm wanting to do my 41 which has flat panels but I'd like to add designs to it. I prefer a "no sew" method. I've seen just about every net posted DIY and most are pretty bland. I like your style but you are light years ahead of most beginners because of sewing/stitching. Show us some simplified "cut and paste" that most could accomplish. Thanks and I really like your work. =robert=
