Tuck n roll ?

[57peppershaker]

I've got a 1;12 57 Chevy thats been part built for a long time. 1 reason was the interior.

What can I use to replicate tuck n roll on the seats ?

Based on a technique that Steve Boutte shared in another forum I made this Tuck'n'Roll

Usually I use half round stripes to replicate Tuck'n'Roll. This method I saw the first time in a posting from Steve Boutte. Steve thanks for sharing this technique.

Materials:

Silicon - use your favorite one

Arcyl paint i.e. Schmiecke or Lucas

Tuck'n'Roll tonneau cover i.e. '59 Chevrolet El camino from amt

Steps:

Make a mold of the tonneau cover.

Pure some of the archly paint in to the mold

Let it dry

Peel it of the mold

Cut to the size that you need

Modified seat from '49 Mercury from amy

Yellow arcyl Tuck'n'Roll added to the seat

Thanks for the great info Michael, would never have thought of using silicone. I'll have to look for something more 1;12 to use as a mould.
