More work on the seats

The seats in Thunderpig look amazing.. there's no doubting that.. but the plastic seat covers that cover the sides of the seats leave something to be desired. In order to make them a bit more pleasing to the eye Joe set out to modify them to be covered in leather and extended to the base of the seat (where it mounts to the cab floor).

Here is the drivers side seat molding (painted to match the leather)



Here is the new seat cover for the passenger side.. As you can see it's been frankensteined a bit to include a new profile made of the existing plastic panel and a new metal panel with an extension to cover the seat mounting brackets.



Here's another view of the panel which shows how the new extension below will be hidden under the seat.



Now that the seat panel has been covered in leather it looks a lot better.



Now if only we can just figure out how to finish the carpet properly we'll be set! :-)
