Randy's Dinette & Corian Project

[Rob Robinson]

John I went back and took a look at the pics. Were you asking about the
material covering the passenger front seat? If you were then I'm sorry I can't
be sure if the copilot seat is covered in leather or something like it. It felt
like leather to me but I never took a close look at it. They are both Flexsteel
I believe.
