I picked up my newly refurbished Corvette seats and door panels this afternoon, and hope to have them in this week. Can't wait to try them out. I carried the red/black theme inside the car with black leather and red diamond quilting. I'm really pleased. Next is the console, and probably the dash and the padded firewall.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I sure hope they fit. I'm not using a power seat rail as I'm the only one who will drive it, and I need it back as far as possible. Door panels will have a small central area of the red diamond stitching like the seats, and the armrest/door pullers are red-double stitched to match. Hope to have everything installed for Sunday's French/Italian Car show at Woodley Park in Van Nuys,but I doubt everything will be installed in time. I'll forward more pics when everything is in.
Hoping to get my cat back this weekend in time to shoot some pictures with my daughter and new son-in-law at their wedding at our house. It might happen either this weekend or sometime next week. Saw my new leather wrapped dash and firewall today just before they start putting them in. I carried the same diamond stitched theme unto the firewall and did red topstitching on the black leather dash as well. Here are some lousy photos I took with my cellphone. Next week I'll send some of the whole interior and exterior.

Thanks everyone, no one wants to see it back together more than me. It's been over three years since I've driven it, so I can barely contain myself. As for the armrests, they are the standard armrests covered in leather and done in the red topstitch. Once they get ready to put the door panels (which also have a center panel with the diamond quited pattern), they will make the hole as well as install the door buttons and grommets. When I looked at the dash this afternoon, one thing I want them to do before installing is to add staples to the leather where it wraps around the edging of the dash. Having had a leather dash in my XKR where thousands of them "shrunk" and developed bubbles because of Jaguar's failure to staple, mistakenly believing that adhesive alone would hold the leather in place even in very hot climates, I wanted to make sure this did not happen in the Pantera. Next week, I should have the old girl back and besides double the horsepower, I can't wait to test out the new fuel injection. Waiting with baited breath....
