I've been searching for some vintage leather for the Christy saddle for three months now. I finally hit pay dirt with one week left!

I hope that I have enough.:21:

Is that the custom tank cover? :)

I just did the same thing with a leather dumpster chair.

Stripped all the leather and tossed the rest.

I started skinning the carcass right where it sat on the back of my truck.

I actually felt a little convicted about destroying a fairly decent leather couch. I would've loved to have had it back in my early bachelor days!

Those giant tacks on the sofa might make for some cool doodadery too.

It seems like I can recall @Funkme using some very similar tacks on her 1910 bike.

So close yet so far . I know you want to get this bike done right. That's the thing about these dead line builds . I will be very surprised to have mine done either . I still don't have my frame back. It's kind of a bummer .

Thanks for all of the support for Project Chris everyone!

I'm looking forward to taking my time and finishing it properly. Not too much time though, I want to have it done by the first weekend in October to take it to the Barber Motorsports Vintage Festival in Birmingham.:cool2:
