Do I recover my Daytona seats?

You can't have the seams re-sewed and replace the foam?

Are your seats black?

 

If still original, the 40-year old leather next to the seams is probably too weak/fragile to stand re-stitching appropriately, especially if put to use.
Third option: If the original seats are nice enough to consider saving for preservation and the car in question is to be driven extensively, I'd recommend getting another pair of seats, either by making new frames with new foam and upholstery or buying a pair of those pre-made seats advertised/sold by Re-0riginals (and perhaps by other vendors ?).

I would carefully remove and retain the original, and have an expert (like Tom Pocius, formerly of Symbolic) redo the seats, foam, etc. I think he did Nic Cage's California Spyder.

Doing the center only might look odd, and crumbling foam and leather isn't how the car was supposed to look/feel.

 

Do you have contact information for Tom Pocius?

 

Unfortunately, no. I ran into him up at a Porsche event at Dana Point, which was the first I'd heard that he was on his own.

You can send them to us!

 

Ah, forgot about the Internet....

 

Do you actually do any work on these or you just have a flux-capacitor in the spray-garage? That Chevellle SS looks like it just rolled off the line as a special order as if yesterday was 1970.

 

We DID have a flux-capacitor for a while, but the government seized it in hopes of being able to fix the financial crisis....and then they scrapped it for the gold components. So now we really do have to work on them

 

I recently did Classiche on my Daytona. I have owned my Daytona for 8 years and simply got bored of the interior (it was redone to a very high spec in the late 80's so it had some patina but was not original). In the process of Classiche I got a lot of information about my car and decided to put it back to dead stock. This meant complete recovering with guidance from Classiche on exactly how it left the factory. It came out amazing. I would post some pictures but I lent the car to Ferrari for their "museum tour of Asia" and the car has been travelling throughout China and is presently in Taiwan.

 

Everything. I redid my mohair dash with mohair and it looks fantastic

 

Can't remember but I used the search function in fchat and had no problem buying the mohair. Suggest you use search just like I did

 

100% correct mousehair for Daytonas and Dinos is available from Henk Van Lith ( HVL Exclusive Italian Interiors in The Netherlands, [email protected] ).
Classiche should know and should "tell" it.
Anything else available today is incorrect and/or looks out of place when seen on the car, believe me.
I have no business connection at all but using HVL mousehair instead of others repros will save you a lot of wasted time and money (but I agree that until recently there were no perfect alternatives).

Best,
