Looking for inspiration,stock seats w/non-stock covers? Or aftermarket seats?, Really digging the Singer 911 interiors and seats. Options

Not building a race car so no desire for true racing seats, looking for something that looks cool and is comfortable.

I've been looking at all the different Singer 911 interiors in the last few days while planning my build and they are all very inspiring (and costly of course)

Anyone make their own leather/suede basket weave?

Yes the Singer look is very cool. I have seen some articles about making real basket weave from leather strips. Looks like a PITA and results don’t look so good IMHO.

Love the Watkins Glen seats from Stefan at Classic Seats. Closest Copy to the Scheels that we’re in the Factory GTs. He will do any material you want

In the mean time I saw this at the local import tuner show. Kinda like it. Sorta houndstooth Pepita charactiture.



In a really nicely done VW bug. Found the material on the net. I think I found it searching “big pepita”

Inspired yet??

I actually watched some scrapbook and furniture making videos yesterday to learn more about the basket weave. I forgot one of my neighbors has an industrial sewing machine and he made me some dust covers for my welders a few years ago, time to start saving pictures and show them to him on what is practical to try out.
