custom interiors

Here's mine

One more

Nice...
Could you add a discription.
what material and colors
did you fill in the radio cutout
did you make the center console arm rest
is that the original bulkhead or reduction

All the materials are leather black with dark grey inserts. The radio cut out was filled with fiberglass. The bulk head is stock except we cut the middle out to allow removal of just the hump. The silver knob on the side of the shifter is a reverse lock out. The center console was made by modifying the stock short piece of console in the rear. The two inner shoulder belt mounts were welded studs into the fire wall much like the stock one on the opposite side.

The goal was to keep the flavor of the stock interior yet modernizing it at the same time while getting rid of the stock cheap looking vinyl.

This one is pretty nice. Mostly stock design but in a tan color.

Of course 3914's interior. It grows on you, did not like it at first, but sure did by the time I sold the car

These two pictures were from an awesome car I saw at the Phoenix Fun Rally in 2013.

Unfortunately, the car was only out of it's car carrier for about 8 hours.

It's a Nevada car - I believe a lot of the work was done by a guy named Sam Penbroke. Really nice work.

Another shot of the seats.

The motor seemed entirely chromed.

David B has done very nice exclusive work on his, the car looks stock but 20 years newer

Mine is hard to really see until the upholstery is done. I still got a month or more to go before they re ready for the car.

I really did not like the Pantera steering column trim so I made my own. Turn signal is momentary on left side of dash. Center console aluminum just waiting for upholstery. Windows on console. The ventilation ducts are aftermarket and I like the shape. They look good in the dash.

Comp2 - Doesn't your passenger ever complain about uncomfortable lumbar support?

Strange place to mount the Fire Extinguisher.

Rocky

Passengers complain too much.

I threw that in for my first drive. The wife asked if I needed it. I said I certainly hope not.

BTW I am also going to weld in nut inserts on the top right interior frame above the door for a handle.

She sure has a nice pair of d'T's.


I do see this discussion is going to be very difficult to keep focus on any one interior point?

Where do you want to start?

How about here with a Momo Competition steering wheel on a machined alumuinum adapter?

There is a Wilkinson "quick release" button. Machined out of a 3...something piece of stainless billet.

Under that is a Sparco dual "remote horn button" mounting bracket. No biggie right?

Well in order for power to get to those buttons a dual channel "commutator" needed to be made and hidden in the column.

The right button is the "momentary on" button for the Pantera Electronics "push button start" modification.

The left button is a push on/off button for the electronic shocks.

Here is the hub naked.

The adapter looks like this.

Hello Comp2; Might I request for a close up image of the console & a listing of each gauge's function, also including the toggle switches?

I believe that some gauges must serve as temperature gauges for the oil, water & transmission?...Thanks!!!...Mark

Roger Mark. I have that in a graphic file. I'll get that tomorrow.

Here ya go Mark:





A/B switches under temp gauges are so I can check the temps before and after the coolers.

There is also an A/B switch under the air PSI so I can check the air bag pressure or tank pressure.



Dash has fuel gauge on left and oxygen sensor on right. Few more buttons on dash such as brights, trunk release, O2 heater, flasher something else I forget.

Momentary in the dash on the left is actuator for a the turn signal controller.

I have a laser shop so I cut my own panels however I had a center piece cut by some one else. Front panel express can make panels. You download the software and lay everything out your self and order it. The advantage is they can do the engravings to label things:

"Air bag"?

All that aluminum would look nice "engine turned"?

Air bag is to raise the front end to clear things like the driveway. When you make an aluminum air dam from scratch you tend to want to try to protect it.

I thought about the pattern on the aluminum and also thought about hydro dipping. In the end I think I am just going to go flat black. It kind of goes with the rest of it.

Here's a quick pic of mine, going to be a few years before it gets upholstered, but gives you an idea. Switch column/pod is going in next to the gauge pod.

Marlin - You have the Corvette C4 seats (I have a pair too) - I think they go well in the interior.

Thanks -
