Default Leather fender cover

StwoK gave suggested in this post, https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...?threadid=42806, that we make a leather fender cover, which I think is a great idea. Since it does not need to be made out of the premium German leather we use on our leather interior accessories, I think we can do this at a reasonable price. We will start work on a prototype immediately.

Also, we have finally completed the first leather door panels for Mark Digrappa's car. We'll post prices and color options soon.

Rick,

I remember you were also going to produce replacement leather seat covers. What happened to that project?

Thanks.

Spider,

We have just finished recovering one complete set of seats (black leather with yellow stitching) for Mark Digrappa's car. Leather slipover covers, like the kind made by Katzkin, are not the way we want to go, I think, but now that Townsend have finished Mark's seats and door panels, we will be talking next week about other possibilities. Based on what they've told me already, I'm not optimistic, but I could be wrong.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what the hell is a fender cover? Are you talking about a bra? Any pics?

A fender cover is protective padding you drape over the fenders when you're working on the engine or doing other things under the hood. It protects the paint and finish from scrathes and damage from dropped tools, etc.

Here's a photo of the Griot's fender cover, which I have and dislike (it doesn't stay in place and the pockets are useless).
