I see something with a V8 in the background, is it a BH?

I'm loving this beast.

Ran the carbs through the sonic cleaner. If you don't have one, get one. They're amazing. Carbs look brand new again.

"Wrapping" up the seat:

Nearly finished. Just have to finish off the back end. Kinda tricky, so i wanna get it right. First time doin this after all.

How did u go from pic 3 to 4? 3 has eyelets and tie, 4 looks like one fitted piece with no stitching.

Interesting way to do a seat pan. I've only ever seen cradled pans when they are going to be suspended like a streetfighter.

Those were 2 separate steps. Pic for has leather wrapping from the bottom and glued on the other side. Its purpose was to hide the metal. Pic 3 shows how the leather wraps around over the top.

Just took another pic to show what I'm attempting here. This is unfinished and unrefined.
