Upholstery done!

Most of this is the original material, however the top of the seat was rotten due to UV exposure and the edges of all panels were ripped out and the staples tore the edges, rendering them too short to use as intended. I shortened and recessed the seat to gain material and used hidden welt to cover the torn edges and had to get a little creative as to where fasteners could go.

Wiring the Roadster

Putting in a new wiring harness, rewiring all the lights, new light switch, and changed the cowl lights to turn signals with a switch under the dash.  Too cold to work outside so I'm doing inside stuff.
