HA HA! You do know how to post a reply to an inquiry Mud! Excellent run-down. I have to say I have been watching you build this thing for (not 5-6 months) at least 2 months and I am very impressed with the way it is going. Keep up the great work and we will see you in the BOTM. It does not matter who else is in there with you, YOU HAVE GOT MY VOTE! ! !

There is a member here that does seats maybe do a search for something like that?

This picture is where I got the idea the bar protrudes from inside the fender (looks like a honda seat but who cares):

Not sure I would say "great" ideas phreak.

I do have a pretty "good" idea what I want to do with paint.

Gonna squirt it myself, probably a denim pewter.

I know an oldtimer striper, and I do believe I'll let him do his thing
with some real nice oldschool strokes.
Not too busy, but a few strong colors.

My seat situation has changed as of today.
I ordered the resin to produce my pan, should be here Monday.
And also today I tracked down an old guy that tooled leather for many years
at one of our SATx world famous boot shops.

I really do appreciate the offer on the chance to make an offer on your seat.

Thanx for the compliment Dog.
Coming from you, it's double good.

Yeah the seat is a mockup, obviously,
and it has changed again since that photo.

Now a little lower in the rear, wider in the front.
Getting closer to the final model.

Then a nice little p pad behind.

Here's a shot I snapped today.

Note that my favorite cactus is blooming.
That is a three day growth.

In 2-3 weeks, it will be as big as a telephone pole.
2-3 weeks. That is a very slow developing erection,
but, then the cactus dies.
I transplanted this one about 8-10 years ago. It was knee high then.
