I know some have done this...Demick.

I'd like to see some examples.

I'm tossing around the idea of glassing on full bolstering and covering with vinyl to match.

I like the ready to buy seats and all. I also like a good project, too.


thanks, KT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Foam shaped to my liking, followed by the first coat of resin and glass matte.
Sanded.

Ready for a final coat of resin and glass cloth.
