Worked on it a little today.

I'm harvesting the organs from a cheap generator light to make the light generator friendly. With all the cool lights in the B.O. I figure I better make it a bright one!

With a little notching,the reflector fit beautiful! I have an idea how to adapt the bulb.

Did some more work on leatherin' the seat. IGNORE THE BRASS BOLTS! I ran out of chrome. I still have to take the bolts out one by one and cement the lower edge. That will get the wrinkles out and take the stress off the bolts.

First I put an under layer of leather.

Then I wrapped it in luxurious white corinthian leather! :D A little wrinkly and some clamp marks but this is only my second seat.

That new leather really changes the look of that seat, almost has a panhead look to it now. Dig it!

Thanks, those are called 'Chicago bolts'. Tandy makes them. The treaded side has a screwdriver slot.
