well, not much going on in the garage cause i'm either broke or making myself broke.

latest adventure for making myself broke is having my Grandfather's 30 year old Lay-z-Boy chair recovered.

if anyone has ever owned a Lay-z-Boy you know why its important to hold on to one, especially a solid wood old one.

this vinyl on the chair just started to split about 2 years ago....now THAT has paid for itself many times over i say.

i'm getting it redone in a nice thick new recycled leather (cause i can't afford 100 grain leather, besides this stuff tends to last longer then real leather). total cost with labor and new foam is 576. but it really needed to be done. i'm sitting on it with a blanket in the seat and it was just wearing me out finally. i hated it.

i did buy some new valve covers off of ebay though. mine were all dented up and i didn't want to bang them out, wouldn't have looked right. so i got new ones for 10 bucks plus shipping. not bad and there are ZERO dents.
