Please describe the project specifications

The client wanted a high standard of finish with a race car style dash which was formed and laminated in plywood and then covered with leather and bold orange top stitching. We also supplied a box section canopy frame covered to encapsulate the simulator. There were also leather covered pieces with a bold orange stripe to cover the computer processor and front of the machine. I made actuator boots in leather to cover the hydraulics for the machine.


What is unique or complex about the project?

We liked this project because its something a bit different from our normal work. Its interesting and bold with black leather and orange detail. The customer was ecstatic with our work and this has led to ongoing projects with this client.
