1978 308 GTS Seat Renewal

Steering wheel came back from Craft Customs today. It looks fantastic. I'll post a pic later when I get a chance.

One thing - it took a bit longer than normal. Carter had to get material from Italy in order to make sure it was right.

Ok, here's one.

The wheel looks great, I am tempted. After 37 years mine could use a refresh.

 

Thanks. Honestly - on the old wheel, I couldn't even tell the stitching used to be white. Plus - it was getting pretty cracked and dry up on top.

This one looks brand new.

 

Update:

I dropped the seats today with Richie @ Michael Angelo. He could have them done as soon as the 10th, but it's easier for me to get them by the 17th, so that's what we agreed on.

I appreciate everyone's advice here, but I decided on Richie because I've seen his work, and I've talked to him multiple times.

I'll post pics when they come back.

 

Oh, and I forgot to mention - carbs have been out of the car for a month or so. I sent them down to Pierce Manifolds, and they are going to work me in, even though I don't have a reservation. I don't need them back this summer - but would like them back for fall.

Finally - pulled the oil filter mount and the sending unit. New sending unit is enroute. I thought about doing Tac Elf's mod, but I think I'll keep the car stock for now.

 

Where is Richie@Michael Angelo?

 

He's on Bering drive, down by Chimney Rock/59.

Beautiful stuff!

 

Those don't look like seats. Probably pretty uncomfortable to sit on.

 

Ha. Seats should come back from Richie on the 17th. Don't worry, there will be pics too.

 

Really going for it here

 

Been a big week. Carbs arrived Wednesday from Pierce. Seats done today by Richie. It's going to be a busy weekend.
