So far so good. Had it out yesterday & today & slid it around a few curves out in the country to make the active handling kick in. Everything worked the way it should and no warning light for Active Handling, ABS, or Traction Control.

Well, when we got to the Bash on Saturday, my wife noticed a tear in the leather on the driver seat in the Camaro. It split at the stitching in the center of the seat & then tore at a 90* angle.

Back to work we go. Only place I could find a new leather cover was Ebay. The new leather is suppose to be here Thursday. Thursday morning I'll be pulling the seat and breaking it down to take the old leather off so I can get the new leather on quickly.

Man, it's always something.

Lucky you could find the stuff to repair it. Hopefully it matches pretty good too.

The leather skin got here today - a day early. I had already started a project in the yard so I didn't work on the seat. I did get a chance to set it on the seat and the color and design match perfectly.

Getting loaded up to go shoot some trap.

Got the seat out of the car today. Removed the seat back and removed the old leather. The seat foam has some splitting in it so I looked for a new one. That was a no go. They don't make it any more. I have some faom to foam and foam to material adhesive so I used some to try to repair the splits. Doesn't work nearly as well as it should. Had to work on it for several hours to get anything accomplished.

Nothing's easy.
