Here is the snake skin set that just went to its new home
This one is nuts but if you like basket ball I can now make them to look like the standard orange basketball. Just thought I would toss that out there.

And here is the shifter boot at it's new home:
I will get to the E-brake boot this weekend.
The shifter boot is a perfect fit. I rolled the edges in due to the short shifter and all is fine. It doesn't hang up or get stressed when shifting thru the gears.
I would say on a 1 to 10 scale these are 12's!!!!
Big THANKS to Tom.  [This message has been edited by Oreif (edited 04-17-2008).] IP: Logged |

Any chance you could do a shift boot with the same stitching style as the p.brake boots, so you could see the stitching, and so they'd match better?
I know it's not as OEM, but I think it'd be a nice touch...

Thats a good question. On the shifter boots I dont top stitch them as I have not figured out a way to do it at all. I have tried for sure. Here is the issue. The first three seams are easy to do but to do the fourth seam correctly you need to have a machine with the size of the opening of the boot to slide through. WIth the boots its about less than an inch that would be just about imposable for me to do. However there is a way to do it but I dont like doing it that way as it is not the right way and not a true top stitch. what I can do is stitch the color into the boot then sew it closed but there will be a flex in the boot. Not the best way to do it but about the only way. I just rather do them the best that I can and found that to be without the stitching on them. BUt I am always willing to help where I can.

Cool, thanks for the detailed reply!
Sounds like you tried the other way? Could you PM me a pic of it so I can see the problem you're describing?
It might not be so bad...If you're like me, I tend to be overly perfectionist, and my own worst critic.

Hey Thomas,
Here is a challenge for you. Do you think you would be able to stitch replicas of the Firebird leather shifter knobs?
Like this pic:
Got the image from : http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/042037.html
You can use the regular Fiero plastic ones and all your leather products to mach
If you can make this magic for a reasonable price $20-35, I'm in for one. (cores are easy to come by).
Thanks.[This message has been edited by Mister (edited 05-10-2008).] IP: Logged |

I have been looking to do this. The issue that I am running into at this time is cost. To get a spool of quality leather thread to stitch with is close to 100.00 and the leather tools run up to another 50.00. I would think in a few months that I will be able to do this kind of work. I want to practice a bunch on a few things I have here like the wheels and shifter in the indy to see what happenes. I will keep you posted. But yes soon I will.

Recieved my package yesterday, my neighbor got it by mistake. Can't wait to get my car together, thanks. Don't forget I'm still waiting for that t-shirt design. I will be ordering another headliner kit for my wife's Fiero in about two weeks from now.
