A C3 with a good stereo AND nice exhaust is a wonder to be sure.

Nice lookin stuff, man. keep us informed.

Hey DB, I got mine on the ground to put some gas in it today. Tire fryer comes to mind. And I agree about the good stereo, man, what a difference it makes in even a short trip.

Wow. The vinyl ones are about $221 cheaper for the pair, but the leather ones really do look a lot better based on these pics.

I'll bet an uposltry shop could take the original ones and recover them for alot less, not to try to rain on your parade or anything, your interior is gonna look first class, but just an idea for some of us less well healed.

Put that kungfu on it......it ain't that hard. I've redone the whole interior in my 69, in about 4 weeks(part time) work.

With all the items you bought to redo the interior, it is going to look brand new, and probably better than original. It looks like you went through the catalogs and made a wish list and then went for it. When do you get to start on the interior?

That is exactly what I did.

I will be installing the interior as soon as I get the car back from paint, which hopefully will be in the next few days.

I truly hope your new dash fits better then mine. I had to contort it like a gymnast with a heatgun to get it to fit the way i liked it.

Very nice!!!!

Your doing it right. Once you change one thing everything doesn't match up or look as nice as new. Your vette will be beautiful inside and outside.

You'll have that new car smell!! BONUS!!!!!!!!!
