Custom INTERIOR pics ???
Okay guys, It's time for me to re-do my entire interior. Everything is shot. I need some ideas.
So many people have beautiful custom exteriors on here, will you please post all your pictures of custom interiors that look good?
Any custom fiberglass dashes? Any custom door panels? Any dash swaps from different cars? Any excellent leather work? I hate my "disco era" interior. I have a 75. I either want WAY more mucle car, or WAY more modern.
Lets see what you guys have got!
PLEASE!

Come on guys! Certainly someone has done SOMETHING to an interior besides recover it.
I hate my "disco 70s" interior. Not muscle car enough - not modern enough either - unhappily stuck in an ugly plain era.
Post some cool pics - PLEASE?!?!?!?

Was watching TRUCKS! on Spike yesterday and Stacey was working on his Hairy Hauler a little doing a custom dash He used Pickguard material as an accent piece and it looked really nice and gave it that custom look without being in the norm. , Doing an entire interior trim like that would get gaudy pretty fast but if you can find the sheet stock from say a custom knife handle place you can actually heat this stuff up with a heat gun (Not too expensive) or an oven (don't use one you cook in LOL) and then mold it to your liking, if you screw up alot of it can be re-molded to fix it.
I have been looking into ways of customizing my interior a bit as well so I will be watching this thread
1fun, your interior came out BEAUTIFUL. Good work at a great price!!

I added an aftermarket V-matic shifter, a pair of 79-82 seats with new leatrher, a CD player and some paint --- not all that custom, but much better than my ratty old interior was.

This is EXACTLY the topic I've been thinking about for awhile. I've always thought the 78-82 dash & door panels were pretty plain and would love to see some neat customs

One problem you always seem to run into is that our passenger compartments are horribly narrow compared to just about any other car out there. In order to swap in a dash from just about anything else, you'll have to cut it somewhere and take out a good sized section..
