The one that seems like it should have been a factory installed item? Im not sure what it would be like to drive along ways and not have one.
This was going to be the year I sprung for glass T-tops for our vette. I had saved thru the last year or so and when I found work faster than expected, I was ready to jump on the good glass ones.
However the other night a guy had over heard me talking about my lovely wife Theresa ( I got it right eh Bud? ) being a seamstress and mentioned that his Mom had an industrial unit with 2 heavy-duty heads for sale. I got it all lined up and when we went to see it , She fell in love with the machine and what they were asking for it. So we passed on the tops and brought this home yesterday.
It needs a paint job on the legs and I installed the casters from my roll around tool box.
This thing sewed through 8 layers of vinyl that you would use for an interior like it did know the diffrence. It pulls the material thru and all she has to do is keep it in a line.
So I had her first project lined up today. I have the after market armrest for my C-3. And when we ride distance, the vinyl can tend to get uncomfortable under your forarm. We have sheepskin covers on our seats for comfort on the hot sunny days....black tends to roast ya good in the sun....so I got a sheep skin from the local IKEA store and she did the rest on her new machine.
She took it apart and replaced the top layer with sheepskin.....turned it right side out and she was done in less than an hour after we decided what to do.
This is the end result.....what a cool and loving wife I have had for over 23 years now
