Default Interior resto

Looking for an interior kit for my new toy, 79 vette, and was curious if anyone could point me in the right direction as far as quality, price, etc. Planning on doing it all, carpets, door panels, seats.
Suggestions of suppliers would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
Jim

used them to re-do my 82 - they have a package deal on seats (mounted w/ new foam or covers only, door panels & Carpet) good price, quality and service. Plus I believe they have the same supplier as mid america & corvette central

Good advice above, just wanted to add one more bit. Don't throw anything away from the car until everything is done. You never know what little clip or bracket is attached to a part you think you are done with.

Welcome to the forum. I have a 79 too. I've looked every where at pricing and quality and when I'm ready Wilcox is where I'm headed.
Post some pics dude, we love pics.

I have had great service with Wilcox.

I have alway heard Al Knoch is the best interior.

I wan to use real leather when I replace mine, can anyone comment on the difference and quality between Al Knoch and what Wicox would offer? I only want to do it once and want the best quality I can get.

I would be happy to hear form Wilcox on his opinion.

Al Knoch has very good reputatation. I have not used their stuff myself as my interior was already done when I got my car, but have seen plenty of their product and it is first class.
