Default Restmod Interior Ideas - 1962

My 1962 should be released from paint jail soon - its been 10 years.

It has an Art Morrison chassis with 9" and mini tubs to fit 12" tires inside trunk so its a hardtop only car.

It will have an LS3 with manual transmission and Vintage AC

Color is "Viper Red" - or a really bright red.

Interior color TBD but I'm leaning to a tan or red leather....possibly the late model corvette Kalahari color.

But what I need to see is door panel ideas, seats (I have factory seats but not sure I'm going to upgrade) and trunk finishes...

If you do an internet image search of "C1 Corvette restomod interior" you will get lots of pictures that you can click on and open the link.
The styling varies vastly from close to stock to radical. Here's a couple.

Default AOK Seats



Al Knoch AOK seats and side panels. Ready to go in my 62. Took them 8 months, but they are beautiful. Supposed to give a few inches of additional leg room compared to stock.

Hi have a 62 and my seat frames are really bad.I don't know if you went to a new style seat but if you did would it be possible to buy your old seats? Jim Dyreson
