    Thats pretty amazing hows they can shape those vehicles, that would take some serious talent.

    Also:
    I am looking for someone to redo my seat or buy new ones for this truck, the drivers seat is pretty junky and they are stained. Anyone know where I could pick up another set of seats or who could redo these for me?

    Thanks
    Andre

    Most marine upholsterers would prob love the extra work in the winter you could try them

    lol the boogie van site is funny.

    ya try any upholster now its slow out. im sure if you yank them, take them to him and ask for a recover he will be happy for some business.

    also, do not go with pleather, vinyl or any kinda plastics. winter will freeze your butt and summer will bake it on lol.

    Looks nice. What do you carry behind all those doors? Looks like it's customized for some very specific purpose.

    Yeah, I agree! Layfield11, posted that on OCT. 7, 2009! His last post was on Sept. 6, 2011! He talked about possibly doing more, or at least another one! Very talented, great workmanship! It'd be great if he is still around and would post some more!
