Pico Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Don't give up on the leather top idea yet. Go to ebay or esty and search for " glove leather scraps". You will find plenty thin leather there. Get lambskin, as it is the thinnest and softest. If too thick, get a skiving knife and remove material from the back. Here is a photo of a sample that I have; it's .030 mm (1/64"). It is very soft and flexible. I'm using it as a sample to see how well it takes stains, which is very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuba_13 Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Good afternoon, friends, here is the last update. A few photos for seed and wait in the Under the glass topic, I will take a photo on the street soon. Not everything went good, the first made hood with homemade piano hinges did not come out at all as we would like, but, in general, I am satisfied with this gorgeous car. Especially the roof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
