seat styling (blumo replication)

[Lord Vadus]

Here's a picture of the '75 Junkyard Monaco that I've been monitoring:



Note that it not only has the '74-style defroster, but the split-pattern seat. I'm going to try to copy this pattern, with a slight variation in both material and design so that it matches these seats:



I want to use the "down the center vinyl" pattern and hope that the vinyl front armrests serve as a decent tie-in. The only thing that I still want to do is source a non-power 50/50 split seat to take the tracks from so that I don't have to use the clunky motor setup.

I am not a huge fan of the plain taxi-style seats so when I had my seats recovered last year I had a subtle pattern stitched in to break up the 5 feet of vinyl, I am happy with the results. The seats don't look too 'fancy' but aren't too boring either. I still have to dye the headrests and cut the holes in the seat back to install the headrest guides.

I like the cheap plain taxi style seats, to me they look so "police car" but your seats look really good, they also look very "fleet" but aren't as boring as the taxi style seats.
