Awesome stuff, I love the texture of stingray even though its a bit of a bitch to work with..
Very nice!
badass Chris!
Thanks...yeah it was a little tricky but not too bad. Found some amazing adhesive for working with leather and metal.
I've only used stingray on coils but found that contact adhesive gives a pretty decent bond whilst giving you enough time to fiddle with the join area and get it smooth/tidy. My biggest issue has always been cutting the damn stuff to size accurately because of all the little bumps.Quote:

that is a bad ass looking machine
