Friday - Part 1
Finally had the chance to try out my 'cut down' head rest design this afternoon.
So I peeled back the covers.
I also made template for the passenger side with the same depth as the driver's side.
Unfortunately, this instantly highlighted the fact the passenger hump is smaller than the driver's.
.
So back to the drawing board I went attempting to split the difference.
I extended the depth of the driver's side and reduced the depth of the passenger side, like so.
Hard to tell from the camera angle, but these are both about the same height from the body shell.
As luck would have it, these revised templates were a perfect match for my left over foam.

Then I covered up the rear of the car and went back to the front headlight.
Where I used a rubber band to hold a section of old material in place.
Which allowed me to mark the position of the grille and the 3 clips that hold it in place.
I then used the cloth template to cut out a section of leather.
I then chalked two sewing lines.
Before creating a matching set of double holes along the chalked lines.
(Sorry about the poor photo.)
