I think we met
I think you must have been the couple that stopped me on Main Street and we talked about restoring corvettes. Hope you are doing well

Beautifu car !!! Well done!!
...do you have any more pics of the interior, that is stunning.
I'm particularly interested in the console and arm rest?..and where the arm rest ends at the glove compartment.
Thanks...Stan

Interior and arm rest
This is probably the best photo I have of the interior. It was designed by Eric Brockmeyer working with me and Jerry Noone who did the work. The arm rest pivots forward to reveal a small compartment for registration and insurance plus the cord for my iPhone.

Ironduke01..
That's some high dollar "first class" stuff right there...!!
I've never seen one I like a much as this. Retaining the Vintage clock and Wonderbar radio panel is the trick...and the rest retro. I need a good arm rest to relieve my back and lean over on occasionally....but don't want to loose the nostalgia feel....and cup holders are mandatory on a road trip.
I am dealing with the arm rest configuration on my restomod right now. (My car looks stone stock though..with a Corvette Correction Chassis).
The cup holders and arm rest I have seen so far, are mostly an afterthought on most C1's...this is pure sex! Stunning...!! Can a console like that be bought? ...or maybe the mold for the cupholders back...I guess I've really already gone to far to redo my whole radio/clock panel.
Thanks for the pic...and if you get any more I'd like to see them too. I'm having issues where the glove compartment opens interfering with the arm rest.
Best regards...Stan

What seat frames did you use?

The seat frames were custom made. They are heated and have power lumbar support which helps me a lot. We bought the leather from Mercedes (ash color) so it matches the paint on the coves and instrument cluster (Mercedes iridium silver).

Is there any way you could have put fat whitewalls on those wheels similar looking to how the period whitewalls looked?
