I have seen a few photos on here of consoles and dashes with stitching. SpiderJims is the only one I can find atm :

Is this a hand sown cover?

Re: Stitched console/dashes
Haven't heard from Jim on the forum for awhile, but he had the console covered with leather at an upholstery shop. Whether it was hand stitched or machine sewn I'm not sure.

Re: Stitched console/dashes
The Limited (anniversary) Edition Spiders with the leather interior (and regular Spiders with leather) came from the factory with stitched consoles and armrests.
I'm sure a good upholstery shop can cover any console. It sure looks good.

Here's a picture of the factory sewing on the console. This is from an 81 with leather interior

Hey! I'm still alive and kicking. Have sent emails but no replies so wonder if gremlins got them? As Bruce says mine is machine sewn leather over modified console and dash. Hope this helps.
