[Chevy nutcase]

Once the weather starts warming up I plan to do exactly this to my 66. I've been leatherworking for a while now and I can't wait to start using what I've learned on my truck. I haven't made any plans yet but your questions now have me thinking. There's pros and cons to applying the leather straight to tge panel or using a thin sheet of some substrate. Directly to the panel would be quicker, easier and likely cheaper but hell to reverse if you ever plan to take it back to paint. As for foam, it's entirely subjective if you want it to feel squishy or if you just want it to look good. When I dig into it I'll post the process here
