I wanted the original look of the Spider seats recreated - am enclosing a photo for reference.. Unfortunately the material hasn't been made in decades, so Sue had to sew strips of fabric together to mimic the pattern.. Another Spider owner shot high res pics of his original seats, then shot photos holding a tape measure next to all the stripes so we got the stripes the perfect width.. he also sent me fabric samples that matched the colors perfectly.. The only thing missing is the fine pin stripes hiding between the larger stripes.. Sue said she could do them, but the cost of the seats would have skyrocketed.. As is, she had them done in less than a week and only charged $900.. Locally they wanted 4 months and $1500..

Here's the original seat look.. notice the pinstripes between lager stripes:



Here's the seats Sue made:









Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
