It took many good hours, but The Bandit snowmobile is finished, and tearing up the mountains of Washington. Masking the hood for paint was no easy task, but went off without a hitch. Please click on the picture to take a closer look. You can also see the snowmobile in action here:  http://www.weakinthetweak.blogspot.com/

I recently finished my first of two cruiser bicycle seats. After some research and practice lacing and finishing edges I have a good finished product. All the proud new owner needs now is a surfboard caddy and his summer transportation will be complete.

I just finished work on a seat for a ’Smokey and the Bandit’ inspired snowmobile. I took some inspiration from pontiac’s upholstery in the 70′s. I’ll post more pictures when the sled is back from paint.
