About 2 years and counting, Everyday I get impressed by the BRZ~!!

just did 0 to 50 mph on highway and that feeling of having the constant force pushing you back to the seat FELT SO GOOD!

Sincere apologies for doing this, but it is said it doesn’t exist on Internet if there are no pictures or video.

This post for reference:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...ostcount=12756

On another level , just so you know, my wife is into insurance coverage big time, so we were covered; except for the MZB = my bad.

1st pic is where our ranch house was located and to the left of that was where the studio/garage was. Other out buildings do not appear in this photo.

Your "Thank You" responses are very much appreciated and warm felt energy back to you !!!

We are doing okay and thank you for your patience… cwpbrz-ji

It is a well known fact that washing your car is like a Indian Rain dance.

Here is a much nicer marine vinyl on the left. It's blacker than the interior, but looks fantastic compared to the Joann Fabric. I only had a sample.



Working on rounded multi-pieces now.. tough. You guys should try

I'm seriously impressed.

What machine do you have? Where did you find the marine vinyl? I have a new sewing machine that was gifted to me about 10 years ago (yes I requested it). I need to unbox it and try teaching myself again.

What do you plan to create?

Thanks man. This guy on youtube has lots of great videos
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8r_HMAjWvU"]UPHOLSTERY BASICS - French-Seams on square corners - YouTube[/ame]

I got a Singer Fashionmate on ebay for $100.. just a standard home one. It said it could do jeans, so it handles the faux-leather just fine.

One of the best sites is www.yourautotrim.com.. click "Faux Leather" Vinyls

They're also one of the only places that carry the best glue, Dap Weldwood HHR. Most others will fail in the summer heat.

Within the month I plan to do the dash pieces, knee panels, speaker panels, gauge cluster hood, and three vent trims. I'll post pics as they happen
