I have some extra fabric in that blue-green plaid that I was saving for the
day I need to recover my front seats.

My wife is wanting to make me a kilt out of it.  If she can make the little
hat and a matching vest, she may be able to talk me into wearing it.

On a related note, at a recent local VW campout, a friend of mine from KC
pulled out a roll of brand new westy blue green fabric.  He had found this in
a junk shop for $5 or so.  We matched it perfectly to my '74, but I was
unable to talk him out of it.

If I could get enough of this fabric, I think it would be cool to paint a
bug, or possibly my '73 Thing to match the '74 Westy, and recover the seats
to match as well.  I would even put a couple of Westy stickers on the side
and have the only VW Westy Thing in the world.  My "74 is that really cool
Yosemite Yellow.
