    Question Leather--where to get it

    OK, guys. I like the leather dash cover and the leather trans tunnel cover. However, I haven't found a source yet except for a local upholstery shop that will order me a whole hide for $375 (ouch!). So...wher'd you get the stuff>
    Appreciate your help,
    Jeff

    I purchased a hide from the eBay seller in the link Cruzzz provided above. Very nice quality and affordable.

    I paid about 200 for a full hide, hundreds of color choices, at The Leather Hide Store. 1 full hide will be enough for the dash, center console top, plus I did a 3-sided switch panel between the 2 and Herbs door panels.

    I got my leather from Discount Hides on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Stunning-Bl...frcectupt=true

    I have bought three hides for various projects - low price (less than $100) and quality is fine.
