Hey
Hey guys,
Im 14 and I grew up in a car family. My dad owns a 78 Corvette. We wanna turn this car into a relatively fast street car that we can use to practive tree lights on. We just put a 350 chev in it. We are getting ing, and exhaust. I am trying to do interior some because it looks really bad. Any ideas for the center console sides?

You can purchase complete carpet sets for about $300 from various places. Check out Eckler's.
Welcome to the forums. My 13 year son old loves my Vette as much as I do. These cars are a good way for fathers and sons to bond

Welcome to the forum Jamie
That looks like an easy project. You just need the fiber board console sides and new carpet set and that car will look fine. Try any of the Corvette suppliers or post here in "Parts Wanted".
Good luck,
Greg

You can get center console panels from Corvette Central or Mid America.
