I used a PFAFF 145 I picked up off craigslist for $400.
Replaced the clutch motor with a servo motor. Man what a sweet machine. It sews great.
I didn't do any step by step pics on this part but I will on the rest. I started with the smallest part in case I had to do it over again it wouldn't waste as much material."Figured I would end up screwing up a step anyway"
I used 1/2" sew foam on the seating area and 1/4" on the sides.
Very nice, you did a good job. That houndstooth check fabric is big with the Camaro community. You were wise to pick something pretty simple for your first project. It gives you the confidence to keep going. Now you know you can do it. So for about $600 you got a Pfaff 145 with a servo motor? Great find!
Also: Thanks for the kind words, you really made my day!

That does look nice! Headliners is what gives me problems. Guess I don't have the patience it takes to do them where they come out looking nice....
