You mentioned the "servo motor"... in my opinion that is a must for a nubbie versus the standard clutch motor.  I was lucky & picked up my Juki LU563 for $400. It was GOVT non used display model (NOS). Replaced the clutch motor with a servo for about $100...only way to go.

Those seats look phenomenal! I hope to have the time and patience to learn how to sew like that. Of course, first I need to get a proper sewing machine. I tried on my home machine, but stuff is just too heavy I think.
I did the interior on my coupe, all but the seat, without sewing anything using a few tricks, but nothing beats stitched up panels.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Keep a lookout on sites like Ebay and Craigslist and sooner or later you will score a machine.  Don't expect to steal a machine like Ed did, that's obscene and I'm jealous!  Lots of "how to" on line regarding upholstery sewing which will give more confidence and willingness to try it yourself.  Albright Supply has been good to me and very quick to send free samples.  Figure out what you need in the way of material and their shopping is FREE.

My buddy just gave me this Mercury walking foot machine.  Not a popular model but it works and was free...got it from his sister who is moving...just wanted it out of his garage.  Clutch motor but has reverse. Giving it to my son.

I would like to give a shout out to Ron (ChevRon).  Ran into a problem and called him to pick his brain.  He dropped what he was doing and came down off the mountain to help with a solution.  Thanks Ron

I'll keep that in mind. ;D It looks like our beautiful warm Fall is about to come to an end and I have been more like the grasshopper the the ant. I still have to clean out the springs and get some winterizing done. Just too old and too lazy.  :o
