Anyway, the seats escaped any damage and are now gracing the conference room table. Time to order a new carpet set.
Hey Dave,

very happy to see that the seats came in unmolested

How ever careful you try to be in packing, you never know what will happen to the box once it leaves your sight.

I am currently in Montreal for a few weeks. I will make your back straps when I get back.

Porsche928guy: at the risk of showing my age, I'm afraid I don't really know what being the "shizzle" is. I'm not really up to date on my snoop lingo

Thank you all guys, for your very nice comments.

Paul

Seven “Wows” in the comments above. That’s exactly my reaction when I saw the picture!

In the years Paul supported our community, “almost perfect…” was a phrase never used. He truly was an artist at what he did born with God given talent. No kidding… Perforation, suede, Alcantara, piping, etc. were al customer choices. What Paul didn’t want to do was stock replacements. He wanted to do something interesting, challenging, unique. Go to any 928 get together and one can easily spot Paul’s work.

Truly amazing work, and always unique:

One thing I regret in my 928 adventures is never having Paul create an interior for me...

Perhaps someday one of the cars he crafted an interior for will be for sale... If you have one and it's for sale? PM me.

A happy retirement after a deeply satisfying career! Hope he drops into the thread to let us know some details!
