Seat
Trying to cover my own seat. My hat is off to the pro's that do this, its tough and I may need help from some friends. Started with a block of foam, an old leather jacket, cut and bent up some stainless for the pan and mount. My hand stitching is looking like hell but a friend left behind a commercial sewing machine made for heavy duty stuff so that may come in handy.

Good luck Chris!!! It sure aint as easy as it looks..Roadside
What I would do is cut out the foam, cut your Chanel down the middle. Spray glue the leather down. Flip the foam over. Take some other material like some canvas spray glue that to the back of the foam. So now it goes canvas, foam, leather. Now chalk line your pleats on the top side. Now run the entire chunk through the sewing machine and you will get a nice deep pleat that has some integrity from the canvas.
I don't know if this makes sence or not call me if you want.
