Default Lets see your modified interiors!

Looking to spice up my interior some as my second to next project. The rest of the car is resto-modded, except the interior which is stock. Now I may not change anything, but I would like to see some pictures and see if there are any ideas that I like. So lets see some photos! Inspire me!

FYI.........you'll appreciate the original dash & gauges 20 years from now......people will be amazed at the look of the "old school original dash"......

For example---people suggested that I should go digital with my '34 dash gauges.....but I decided to go "reproduction original".....



I'm keeping the Vette gauges "as is"......but I've replaced the worn-out carpet and seat covers with red covers and carpet so the console will stand-out......

Hey Doorgunner,
Why is the park brake handle facing backwards?

Was the e-brake pic the size of a billboard when you viewed it?(photobucket does goofy stuff lately)


Backwards? I must have put the negative wrong-side-up in the enlarger!

Actually....I took my V.A. meds/PTSD/( ).......then installed the parking brake....that's my story........

Default Still a work in progress

Had to rework a custom shifter plate after the LS/TKO install. Working towards paint and finishing the interior; among other things.
