Custom C3 interior....
I've had the door panels,and the dashes in the basement wrapped up,but went to the upholstery shop this am,and got some pics of the seats.I was VERY impressed!These guys are unbelievable,and some down to earth brother...3 brothers.
The seats are from a 70,but going in a 69 vert.This orange is very close to the Z06 atomic orange that the car is going,so it will look awesome.I have the inserts on the shift plate to go atomic orange,so it won't be tooooo much,but accented.The top dash is a very nice black org.69 piece,so there will be a great contrast,and the black shoulder belts!
To the forum member of this 69 that I'm building for you.....You are the best,and thanks for your patience!

That looks awesome! I ahve thought about covering the interior with suede, and wondered how it looked. YOu will have to post the final assemblied pictures when you get it done.

The owner isn't impatient.I think this vett....makes 8 he has.I fell on some hard times for alittle while,and he was completely understanding,and supportive.It's snowing up in the mountains,so I won't be delivering the car until the weather breaks.It's been a long process,but I started w/a busted up bare body,so.......

Each to there own,and I respect that,but to me....you have no vision.Meaning...you are seeing it as a project,and a dirty one at that.I see it w/the front clip back in place,detailed,painted,and the hood up at a car shop in the mountains of Vermont w/a beautiful sun that reall y brings this color out...That's how I see......This isn't a NCRS 69 vert,but a stripped car that turns custom,and has the nearly the best that money can buy.

Looks like there's a theme using the Orange, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the final outcome. Keep the pics coming.
