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) |

Thanks, guys.
I had fun on this project. That was part of the plan. I've been fighting some sort of flu-like crud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) ...Sorry it took so long. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/Jumpy.gif) Can't wait to try this out tomorrow on the course. I ran it around the Vineyard Lap™ and I must say. It's pretty good. KT |
