Re: Re: for sale file

Here is another bit of info to offer this group in some new folder, i guess: A Resources section? A guy named CJ in LA recently bought an espada and is in the process of restoring it. I"m not sure if he"s a Lambo member yet but he is expecting to join. His friend named Greg, who also restores cars, has found a shop in El Cajon, CA that can laser-cut the pattern for Espada Seats. Turnaround for the process is approx. 2 weeks and i think costs approx. $600.BTW, he took the pattern from my car which was made from the original die press. Now, previously, the only way to get the correct pattern was to have the strips of leather cut by your upholsterer and then ship the strips to GT Parts, and then they would send it to the guy who owns the only punch press left in the world. He"d do the job whenever he felt and you"d get it back in about 2-3 months.He was based in Australia but now has moved to NZ, so I hear, and is out of reach or not doing it anymore. Who knows. Anyways, I have been given a sample and it does look great, although, a little to perfect, IMO, as the pattern is very exact from the laser, whereas the original was done by hand and not always precise. The other thing to note is, the laser burns the leather, so you will need to clean it very well, and it is questionable how well it works with the lighter colors of leather. The sample I have is a dark blue, so any residual burns left after the cleaning cannot be seen. stevo ----- Original Message ----- From: lamboguy To: VintageLambo@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 1:58 PM Subject: [VintageLambo] Re: for sale file Yeah, I guess we need to work that out Peter.I"m not sure that you can!I think it"s only editable by the guy that created it.Maybe there"s another way to do it?I think maybe as a database, then anybody can add.Not sure, I"ll play around with it, let me know if you see any other answers...
