How do you get your seats to look about 50 years old?

Well, I spent the morning skinning an old sofa and chairs. I now have about 8 metres of tan leather that I (or an upholsterer) might be able to apply to some bomber seats and a head rest.

An example of it can be seen here. This will clean-up to a lighter tan. The backs of the sofa and chairs are too good - they don't look old enough even if they have been in use for half a century.


Next pictures should be of a primed chassis! Colour will go on after my holiday.

It's funny how certain tasks are significant. I know that when I fit the diff to the chassis, I will feel that construction has begun and another corner has been turned. September should be fun.
