Beautiful Yank, you have done an outstanding job The interior looks better than new--all that leather is quite an improvment over the stock GM. It is almost exactly what I would do to my dream 82 if I can ever find one Great job, enjoy that ride

Looking good. But the heading says 81 but the drivers side seat looks like an 80 seat plus I don't think the 81 had a clock.

Drivers seat is an 81. And the 81's had a clock when it came with the base radio(No clock in the Radio)

Thanks for to compliments....Well I was going to attack the spare tire refinishing project today but it is sunny out here so I figure there will be many miserable days coming this winter so I am going to take her out.

Great Job interiors can be a real pain!!! I have done mine and also the one in my brothers 79 and it just takes time and you just have to know when to walk away for awhile before you get the hammer out.
