I spent all that time at car shows last year figuring out what I was going to do to the car in the off season. Finally came down to :1) New exhaust to let the motor breath, 2) certify the cage which meant stripping the interior and welding some new additions to the cage, well hell, since the interior is out lets try our hand at a DIY interior. I'm reasonably talented and creative so here it is...
New interior:


Old interior. Ya, I like the new one better too.









Suede is cool, but you have to brush it which I obviously haven't done. The headliner IS THE ONLY PART I farmed out. It looks like the headliner is loose, it isn't, it's tight as a drum, it's the shadow that makes it look that way.



Trunk came out pretty cool too!

New handmade headers - My buddy did those - 2" to 3.5"


And while I was waiting my space in line for the exhaust I pulled the A arms and had those plated and had the spindles ceramic coated.



I designed and built this shifter mount and it is oh so confortable to shift now.



Overall I'm very happy with it. As mentioned the headliner was farmed out. Thanks to Mom for her sewing machine and guidance.














Thanks for looking. I think I finally nailed the editors down on a date and they tell me the show queen will be in the upcoming January issue of Super Chevy which comes out the 3rd week in November. The pics were shot in July so it's been hard to not get excited. So keep an eye out.
