It is sanded and contoured already, but then again it is simply a mock up guide for the upholstery shop to make the foam out of one block and get the shape the way I want. Expected to have a thin layer of foam, especially since it will need backing for the stitching the diamond or tuck and roll.

I know some people might think my seat looks gaudy, but I like it, that's all that counts, it was my design that I drew on paper & gave it to the upholstery guy to stitch the design I wanted

So seat is at the shop. Going high grade vinyl in a camel color. Changing my mind from black. Also making panels for the grips in matching material.

Yup, whatever they use on boats. Whenever I had seats covered, I went to a local marine place to do it. They only dealt with vinyl. But they got to be quite pricey, so I'll probably have to find a different guy next time.

Funny!
I am a vegetarian too. Kind of. I don't care about animals, I just want to be healthy.
