Lil' bit o' bling for the 60

[Doc]

My old e-brake boot was tired, torn and dirty- so what's a poor boy to do?

I made a replacement, Had a bunch of nice deer hides laying around- so (or sew) I took the old one apart, used it as a template, and busted this one out!

I must admit though, I make these kinds of things all the time for my buddies with civic/Integra's so it wasn't all that new.

At first I tried to sew the leather to the wire support, but it didn't turn out so hot, so I used some adhesive to glue the sides together, around the wire- and it held up nicely.

It's probobly the nicest thing in the beater now!

Anybody else need one? Seriously, wasn't that hard to make- just required a bit of time and a bit of materials.

I'd like one, can you do anyother colors, like red and black.

 

[Doc]

I can do just about any color in cow hides, deer hides are more limited, browns, blacks, burgandy's, etc... But Cow hides I can do in fire engine red, yellow, blue, green, white, black, etc....

I've got a solid maple frame around my aftermarket radio, because I didn't like the space left after the install. Of course, my driver's side seat is greasy and torn, but I never look at it, just sit on it!

[Doc]

I put one up on e-bay to gauge interest.

E-bay LINK!

ya got a pic of it in? i just put in new black seat covers and black rubber floor mats.. really changes the inside around..it would look pretty good with one of those in black...

 

[Doc]

I'll snap one later tonight if it stops raining, pretty much looks stock, but less shiney.

thats way slick. I might be interested later in the summer when i have more money... Gas prices are killing me (of course im never gonna get rid of my gas guzzler though)

 

[BigSur]

How much would you be marketing these for? I might be interested in one for my blue/grey interior.

 

[Doc]

Well, they do take a bit of leather, about half a deer hide (OK, they are small deer...) but generally looking to get about $20 for them.

Besides, I find that $20 is a nice round number, easy for a potential buyer to 'swallow'.

I have my leather supplier looking for other colors right now, a brown to match the brown interior, and I'll have him look for a grey color if you want me too as well.

Or, BigSur, we can just trade for parts!

 

[jeffroid]

I'd like a grey one too ! ! !

Shoot me a PM of anything else you need.

 

[Doc]

I'm good for now.

But I'm sure I can come up with stuff I need. I always need spare parts!

Are you still looking for springs? I have some rear 2" lift springs i am going to sell.

 

[Doc]

Just rears? I need the whole thing, fronts and rears. Or, I could go for the hot rod look!
