So i called a local upholstery shop today to inquire about the inserts in my latest project car (www.projectglh.com) that a friend and I are doing for Solo Stock Class AutoCrosses... and the guy told me he'd only charge me for materials to redo the inserts based on 3 conditions...
1. We give him the seats til february (not a problem, car is stored til March)
2. We put his name on side since we're racing the car every weekend (also not a problem, i manage a sign shop)
3. We let him do something more intersting than the stock corduroy! he suggested Suede!
What are your thoughts on this? I have NO objection to suede, but in a weekend race car?? he must be joking! but nope, he's serious.
And now he's got me thinking of doing a dark blue suede insert on the seats of MY GLH-T. The ONLY thing holding me back is that I wanted to restore my GLH to be as close to stock appearing as possible (other than motor work). So should I have my GLH done too? it would be darned comfy over that old corduroy! mine are in good shape still, but i know he'll cut me a deal on it that'd be too good to pass up. hmmm, your thoughts please????
Thanks in advance!
