Michael, are you cool with another observer or two? Heard from Dennis that he will be down there doing this work. I will be in Ft Myers that weekend. Your ride looks AWESOME! I might be a bit embarrassed to drive mine by, but the embarrassment would be worth it to see your end product.
PM me address info if you are cool with an additional person.

More than welcome....I PM'd you my address and contact info.
Can't wait to see the door panels installed. I will bring over some extra clips in case any get damaged with the removal/install. May have to look into a set of DD Mods door panels for my C5.

I can't wait to see the transformation after the interior install! Paint-done. Wheels-done. Ride height-done. Performance mods-done. Interior-gonna get done and soon!
Looking forward to pics...and to seeing it person!
And, IMO, the new polished wheels 'make' the car now. The powdered black ones were nice, but on this, the new hoops are stellar!
Got started on stripping out the interior late this afternoon....Dennis from DD Mods flew down to perform the 'surgery'....he's done this once or twice...basically got everything out in 45 minutes....we'll start early tomorrow and get everything put back together...can't wait!!!
The interior is complete....couldn't be more pleased with out how it turned out.....the 'softness' of the leather and suede....just brings a level of class to the car....the stitching is all blue (doesn't show up that well with iPhone pics)....did leather on the upper part of the doors, entire dash and console....most of waterfall and console lid.....black alcantara on lower parts of doors...A pillars...sun visors....inserts of seats...shifter boot/**** and emergency brake boot/handle....had custom Corvette lettering embroidered in seats....also installed C6 Z06 shifter (holy cow what a difference...I keep pushing the shifter thinking it has further to go to get into gear....nope....such short throws and effortless in feel)....
Can't give enough props to Dennis from DDMods....he flew down late Friday....came over to the house and popped out the interior in 45 minutes.....he had the new interior installed today within a couple of hours....the seats took quite a bit longer....the brackets from Corbeau are not the best but we modified them and got everything to work perfectly....seating position is excellent given they are a fixed back seat....they actually sent the Evolution model (with reclining mechanisms) instead of the Evolution X....but we removed the reclining mechanism and got them to fit.....big shout out also to Mike98SilVert for helping out....bringing over many needed tools....and getting the zipper back together on one of the seat covers.....Thanks very much to Mike and Dennis for helping out.....love the interior but also appreciate other Vette owners and members of this forum coming together to help one another out.
Not the best photos (iPhone) but we'll get some done with my camera in the next 2-3 weeks.
My old CCW wheels and some of the interior parts are now listed in the for sale section.
Looks great but I'm surprised you didn't upgrade the radio too.
I did give it some thought....but I never use the radio (I turned it on once when I first got the car to make sure it all worked)...between being a vert and more importantly the sound of the exhaust and supercharger there is no reason to....it's not a daily driver so I don't care about Bluetooth etc. And if for some reason I change my mind, not that hard to swap out a new console.
