Leftover Upholstry Lthr in BLk
Anyone have any leftover leather (black) to redo a few sections of my back seat? Before I head to the good will and buy an old leather jacket to cutup?
LMK qty and cost.

Try to find a hobby type leather store in your area. They often have large scraps, or entire skins, that are a good match for our leather.
They also charge much closer to what leather is worth (same price as good vinyl) as opposed to an "upholsterer" who charges a hefty premium for the same exact leather.
It's the same bottle of diet soda, whether you buy it for $.99 at the grocery store, or $1.89 at the 7-11.

I have been making serious inroads on the local feline population. So, for you, today, a special!
I sell the meat to Tyson's and Micky D's...I've been told they taste like chicken. I, also, have a number of mixed pelts that I'm salting down/curing for a unnamed underwear manufacturer to the stars and talking heads. When I get the chance I'll dye a few large pelts for you.
For a nominal fee I can get you enough black and white 'PINTO' pelts to do your entire interior, though I may have to 'PROCURE' some donors outside the neighborhood. Or just contact me at:

Randy,
Only if you can scoop some flicks and SC Dyno data on Fast Carl's Ragtop!
I am, by the way, doing God's work here among our whiskered friends...and I'm working hard!
