Projects the F-BOMB

Finished both seats for my 56 f-100 nicknamed F-BOMB. i used black leather with a sunburst orange weave to match the two tone paint that i plan for the pickup. this is what they looked like before


this is what they look like now.
whaddya think?

 

WOW, you did that yourself - very nice work!! congrats!

 

this was my first drawing of what i'd like it to look like


this is a two toned version of it.



im not sure if i want a black roof and follow the black to the top of the bed with a pearl and metal flake orange on the bottom 3rd or the opposite. have the bottom 3rd black with the roof and top of the bed orange.

 

thanks

 

Send me a profile pic and I'll photoshop it 4 ya. Or, post it on "the photoshop thread to end all photoshop threads" and you'll get some good feedback.

 

sweet! got any pics of the process?

 

Like the seats. Very different

 

DUH!!!! i didnt even think of taking any pics while i was redoing the seats.

 

great job!

 

Those seats out of a rustang? I'd like to order mine in red and black please

 

The seats look great. Nice work. But you might want to reconsider your nickname. Dave Freiburger's twin turbo Camaro beat you to the name and is a lot more famous-see Hotrod Magazine. It'll just look like you copied him.

 

I really like the baseball stictching. I've muddled my way thru upholstery, it's WAY harder than it looks. Hats off on that job.

thay look good i also like the base ball stiching very cool

 

i've had the name in my head for about 10 years now. and its a 56 ford pickup not a camaro? and if it came down to copying, alot of people name their cars like everone else. mable, christine, ELENOR. do i need to name more. F-100...F-bomb. thats where i got the name. not off some guys camaro.

 

yeah the orange took me another 1 1/2 to 2 hrs each to hand weave

 

Those are very , very nice looking! I hope you can do an upholstery tech post sometime in the future!

 

I took trim class at Wyotech...we had a saying..."Stitching ain't easy"..the fact that you did Diamond tuck makes you a hero in my book..haha

 

thats where im doing it. i graduate and end my trim class in two weeks. its easier to weld a straight line to me than stitching. BUT I'M LOVING THIS CLASS. im 30 and coming here is the best decision ive ever made.

 

what kind of tech post? like a step by step how to?

 

i was there at 24 -25...grauated in 05...PA school. I too think it was the best thing for me..Took my fab skills to a new level

 

Actually Freiburger copied the name from Muffin's '27 T Roadster. The name showed up on Freiburger's car about a year after Muffin's car appeared in Hotrod Magazine March 2005.

The seats are great and I don't really care what you call it. It's your truck.

 

Ya think my car was not in progress before that?

 

Some guy's Camaro? Do you know who Dave Freiburger is? It's very published, very recognizable. In fact it will even be in the new Fast and Furious movie. Then everybody will think you copied that car's name for sure. Even if you made up the name 10 years ago, your drawings are only from 08.

And regardless of who had it first, it will still be unoriginal.

 

And non-exclusive.

 

Agreed.

 

I'd like to say I give a shit about the name, but I don't. The seats are mighty fine, though.

 

Man, that is solid work there! Nice!

Great name, too! Who cares where it showed up first!

 

NAME, NAME, NAME... sounds like a FREAKIN' playground!!! Enough already, geeze!

Nice seats. Too bad we have to stomach all the STUPIDITY to go along with it.

 

So let's talk about the seats. Is this your first try? I'm impressed either way. I wish I could do upholstery.
