I feel kind of partial to the blue and white checkered pattern. Reminds me of one of my old girl friends gingham aprons.

Bill - lookin' good!
Tell us more about those seats - they look like they'll be comfy and firm. Your work or a shop - and if so, who?

The seats I took down to Bare metal and painted the frames, I had the leather and took all of it to a local hot rod shop and had them sew them up.Kyle Wolfe wrote:Bill - lookin' good!

I'm sure you meant 12"....not 10".Bruce Fenstermacher wrote:If you are talking about 10" numbers rather than the 2" numbers, no. Our aircraft are grandfathered allowing just the 2" numbers. However there are some restrictions where they can be operated with 2" numbers. I believe 10" numbers have to be displayed to enter Canada and a ADIZ.
