Default Leather wrapping plastic interior bits

Purchased the full complement of leather coverings from J-F Customs in England.
What the hell was I thinking! Not for the faint of heart and definitely not for **** folks like me.
This has turned into a labor of love (or insanity).
Slow, tedious and nerve wracking trying to keep from getting any wrinkles.
The adhesive I’m using is Barge super stick contact adhesive, urethane based and strong as hell.
This project better be worth it in the end!
Bill.

It absolutely will be worth your efforts. Don't be afraid to use a heat gun to stretch out the wrinkles. Post some progress pics and good luck.

Yeah I'm OCD about stuff like this as well. It turned out great.

I did that with my 06 Vert but instead of getting the leather and doing the wrapping, I bought the parts from Gene Cully and sent them to Gerry Astorga at Down South Vettes. Perfect.
