I'll tell you tomorrow after I post the dash itself. I went wild and am having them do the visors with those criss-cross thread, along with the end caps, shifter boot, center armrest, etc. I'm paying time and materials (at Silicon Valley rates) so I'm not sure where it's all going to come out. Suffice to say it's an emotional investment, not a rational one.

Ok, almost all the parts are back. I have something special in mind for the center armrest and shifter boot, so you'll need to wait to see those. I sure hope I can get it all back on the car. I have about $3600 into the leather work so far, which is too much to spend on 951 I know, but labor costs are through the roof here, and I've never made a rational financial decision on this car in the past, so why start now.

Very very nice!

The visors weren't quite right, so @Crazy Eddie made this happen. Have all the pieces back in hand now and can't wait to get it all back together. There are a few surprises too I'll wait to show.

Crazy Eddie has been a very “Busy Eddie.” Lots of leather work.

They look fantastic! No wonder Ed has not been able to get to my projects.

Busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest

What does he owe you? I'll badger him relentlessly for you.

Thanks for the offer but, absolutely no need to badger Ed. As Ed is aware, I have plenty of time before my new car is delivered.

Ed is going to visit his dealer and scope out the 992 passenger seat potential airbag sensor issue in contemplation of changing out the seat cushion inserts. In addition, he is looking into the replacement of my inner door sills with leather ones with shark blue stitching.
