E55 style seat trim for an E38 big tank charger , black roebuck with white inserts using my factory covers as patterns to get the seats exactly as the factory did them.
Going in a very nice E38 with a parchment interior that’s pretty much spot on but the owner wants black and white, I did the same with my hemi orange VH Pacer going from parchment to black , after all muscle cars just look so right with black interiors .
More to come as I start getting through this one and it’s a full retrim so not a small job but one I’ll enjoy doing

Recovering some RT charger seats to resemble E55 seats / black with white inserts and I’m using my original RT charger seat covers for patterns as I know the repop covers are not exactly the same as original, for one the original covers use two different sizes of piping not the one size just as an example and little things where other trimmers think they’re correcting stretched vinyl by straightening out the seam/pattern when in fact the factory made the covers with that deviation in the shape for a reason.anyway enough of that I know that Chrysler were very much on a budget compared to say Ford or GMH when it came to manufacturing and the seat covers were no exception and they used off cuts of everything from vinyl hardtop to Rooflining vinyl and obviously calico and hessian on the lesser models ( Rangers etc )
Here’s a prime example of something I’ve always said to some so called Chrysler experts that the Chrysler by Chrysler didn’t actually have a straight beige vinyl top where fitted from factory unless it was a dealer fitted option , the number of times I’ve been told I’m wrong is hilarious and here’s proof positive with this cover using the exact Chrysler by Chrysler parchment hardtop vinyl not the nylex aftermarket beige and these pics show the Chrysler parchment and the other pics show the beige sample sitting over it to demonstrate the stark difference when you actually have a comparison of the factory vinyl of course there were quite a few available vinyl hardtop colours around back then whereas today unless you are prepared to search for them your choices are fairly limited locally . The other pics show the off cut headlining used in the listings of the covers and also some of the factory markings on the back of the covers made during the manufacturing of the covers

LC GTR style seats all done and ready for collection, unfortunately the rear seat base is a sedan ( 4 door seat ) and these are quite different in shape and actual size with the two door seat being taller and completely straight across the front which is very different to the sedans shorter rounded base , but after a bunch of pattern alterations I was able to get the base in a reasonable looking shape and finish to pass at a quick look for an original , rear boards made , padded ,covered and fitted to the front seat backs
