Blue Devil,
Am I going to like this leatherette on my seats if I really want cloth for Summertime comfort? I hate to pass it up as it sure sounds like a good deal and high quality. If I send you a dollar, can I get you to send a 6" sq. (small) piece?

Thanks,

Blue Devil,
Have received the leatherette, and it looks great! Looking forward to revamping the dash this weekend

do you still have some of this? Would be interested to see what it's like. I won't be ready for upholstery on mine for a while, but at the price and quality, I may just grab a bunch now and put it up for later...

Well I got around to mocking up my dash today and used the vinyl I had bought from 'blue devil'.
The vinyl went on real nice, has a sort of soft touch slight rubber feel to it instead of a plastic feel.
I was real liberal with the glue and it had no bleed through issues at all.
Only time will tell how well it stands up to the elements, but for now I am one happy guy :D :D

I thought I would post a few more photos of the Vinyl I got from blue devil.
I have installed it on my tunnel and back piece behind the seats, as well as a small dash to console piece.
It doesn't quite match the color of my vinyl seats, but I have enough left over so that if I decided to make some different seats in the future I can recover them to match.

This thread hasn't been posted to in a decade and blue devil hasn't visited here since 2013. I wouldn't hold my breath.
