Guys:



I haven't seen any Pic's of the day lately so I decided to post one or two.  Tonight I made some progress on my upholstery.  I call it the "Two Cows" interior. This is because I ordered one cowhide and it wasn't enough to do the whole interior (just the seats) so I had to order another cow.  They don't match at all but I decided to run with it.  Here's what I have so far:

The panels and center console was a lot easier to do than I had thought.  I used cork board as a backing and 3M spray glue with some 1/2" foam between.  Here's an intermediate step on the console:

I'll be bringing the whole thing to the airport soon so the clock is ticking on what finish work I can do in my evenings.



Happy Building,

The two-tone looks great. I'm getting ready to do quite similar but I have 

two matching gray cows. I'm envious of the two-tone!

Very nice, Scott! Man, those seats look comfy. Who sewed your seat covers for you?

Thanks Dave.  I paid an automotive upholsterer too much to sew them up.  Jason Cantrell in Mississippi had a friend do his for about half and they look just as good.

So I guess that pretty much nixes the option to give a demo flight to a 

Hindu, huh? No prob.... those swamies have flying carpets anyway. BTW, did 

you get to eat the cows too or did someone else get the steaks?



Mine are being made out of a plastic cow.... the standard grey "pleather" 

upholstery.

I'm in the process of shaping my seats with four different densities of 

TemperFoam or ComforFoam slow-recovery polyurethane. Any idea what a typical 

upholsterer might charge to fit and sew the leather coverings?

Robin:



Just to give you an idea, my guy quoted me $200 to $300 and charged $500 when it was all done.  I supplied the cow and the cut foam.  He had to re-cut the foam and add some foam so I know he did a lot of work.  But then I live in Omaha where everything that involves labor is expensive.  



Dr. Ed - Cow-lovers everywhere applaud your decision to go synthetic - "Eat Mor Chickin."  

Steaks were not included with my two cows.
