This piece of work has been sitting in the shop a week or so . I guess if you’re spending $80k on a Camaro you have time to wait for it to be done right. Ed Hamburger is a cool guy.
And it has orange (amber) leather interior:
I like that color.
As with all fresh-installed CST leather interiors, the wrinkles will fall out over the next few weeks. The kit has to be cut slightly larger than the foam it goes over.
We didn’t want to risk damaging it with a heat gun when parking the car outside in 80 degree weather for a day or two would have the same effect. The key was locked in the boss’ desk.

Those seats look great. I want new seats so bad.

The modifications might be great, but their logo is just terrible.
Just looks like someone’s personal monogram...

When I was a kid, I swam competitively. On the team were a couple of brothers with the last name Hamburger. I can’t recall their first names, nor can I remember their dad’s first name. But I do remember their mom.
Her name was Patty.
On forms requiring the last name first, she became Hamburger Patty.
I wonder if she thought about that before getting married.
(I’m sure her full name was Patricia, but everyone called her Patty and Patricia just isn’t nearly as funny.)

No matching door cards or anything? I’d like the color picked up there or on the center console or somewhere else than just the seats.

That lettering combo is really...unfortunate.
Man, sweet camaro! How did you get the money for it? Actually, I’ve never seen you go to work or anything and you have this Camaro and a $200k house...
Don’t worry about it. I’m in the...uhh, recreational sector of the economy. Yeah, that. If you want someone to S yo C, just let me know and I might squeeze you in for a discount.
What?
Hit me up before the weekend, clientele gets busy around that time if you still want it. *drives away*
Ess my See? I don’t get it... Oh! He’ll search my craigslist for vacation homes! That must be what he meant by the ‘recreational sector’. But does it really pay well enough to get a Yenko Camaro and huge house? Maybe I got into the wrong business!

It’s the “Y” totally ruins it. Makes it look like a knockoff handbag.
EDIT: I now realize that you were referring to the logo in general not just how it was executed on those seat covers. I don’t disagree, but I like the real font much more.

The 16 Camaro has door cards that can’t really be taken apart easily and we don’t do custom sewing. We’d have had to break door panels and plastic welds.

Where are you located, could you replicate Focus ST2 seats, partial leather and alcantara seats?

Doesnt it look off to only have seats in a different color, while all the other leather trim is a different color?

Your work looks great, the aesthetic of the rest of the car is pretty terrible though.

If it were me, I’d have done the console lid and door pads too, but they’re a huge pain in the ass to do and they’re already covered in leather or vinyl from the factory so they’re not in our kit. To do the door armrests, we actually have to break the plastic welds and then reattach them with plastic welds. It almost never looks right.

Well that sucks. Factory or nothing is not a direction I want our cars to go in.
Is it possible to cut/rip out a bunch of the factory leather, leaving a strip of factory leather at the plastc welds? And then, sow the new leather onto the remaining strip of factory leather...
I know, still a pain in the ass. But you’re not breaking and really making plastic welds.

Here in the shop where I work we do very little actual sewing. And on the door panels it’s usually vinyl until you step up to a luxury brand. It can be done, but it’s a pain in the ass.
Just like with 15+ Mustangs, the door panel is half vinyl and half cloth so we usually leave them. Our door panel vinyl won’t stick to Ford vinyl.
To do it right:
remove factory panel
remove cloth and vinyl pieces
strip plastic door panel of all foam and glue
glue new foam in place
cut to shape
wait for adhesive to cure
spray more adhesive
place our vinyl over foam
smooth everything out
Takes about 2 hours per panel, and in a production shop like this one we don’t have the time to do it.
