Could definitely do that however there is a reason Ford didn’t make that into production. Automotive grade leathers are much more rigid and have high amounts of UV protectant. Because of this, distressed and nubuck finishes don’t work with these protectants and thus relegated to furniture and fashion leathers.

What that means is the leather will wear quicker over time, the dye will fade quicker as it’s exposed to more sunlight, and the leather may tend to stretch more as it’s softer and more elastic than automotive grade leather.

But it’s certainly doable however customers need to be aware of these factors.
This explains why King Ranch leather tends to go to shit a few years later.

If I go with a Basesquatch I'll look for a way to swap out a leather steering wheel and possibly shifter

When you said leather door nets, I thought you were going to be referring to the in-door nets that are attached via Bronco bolts.
I was thinking the same.

I always thought leather wrapped grab handles would be pretty sweet.
That is one of my thoughts that might be a popular option.
Perhaps you can coordinate with another member who is a wood craftsman and offer your skills to mesh with his. He intends to craft grab handles with exotic wood. Having it wrapped with leather would really make a nice combination. I'll have to see if I have bookmarked his thread.

EDIT - Sorry, I do not have the thread bookmarked. I meant to bookmark it but apparently only made a mental note of it. Perhaps, he will see this thread and respond. I think I found the B6G member who is a wood craftsman. @L8apex

For the grab handles... would we send em to ya and you wrap em... or are you gonna have blanks made and then wrap em... or some sort of lace up installation by the end user?
