I don't have an engine picture yet... Heres one of the inside with the wrong seats in it.
I got the original seats with the car... It took me two days to put the original seats back in. Now I have new covers coming for the seat so I'll need to remove them to install the covers... I also want to buy new door panels but WOW at $400.00 each I'm going to be looking for a while... I got the seat covers off E-bay for $110.05 normally sells for $550.00.
The carpet not in bad shape but it faded to a blue color. So first I'm going to try carpet dye.

Next I'm buying or building a car lift... It's impossible to work under a Vette even with it up on ramps... I'm guessing I'm in the wrong class because Vette people probably don't work on there own cars...

Hi Walter.
I just purchased some "barely used" door panels for mine.... The new ones were an impulse purchase and are closer to stock. They will make the ones I have available. Are you looking for a particular color (mine is red)? They are in very good shape, they are cloth on the upper panel. I just have never really like the cloth upper panel..... Just a goofy personal preference I guess.
If you're looking for new, then Willcox Corvette had the best price for a pair that I've found. Lots of suppliers out there and some have sales.

Walter,
It looks like, by the stamping on the side to be a Weber.
Oh, and one more thing. I can't speak for everyone, but my day job funds my passions ('75 Vette Coupe).....and Yes, I work on mine. I have full coverage and towing in case I really screw up and need to get it hauled by flat bed to someone who can unscrew it up for me.... LOL!
