I like that you left the shape of the dash alone and focused on the door panels, center area and steering wheel, seats, and then finished it off with some great detail work. Looks excellent.

Sam, next up is the engine bay pics. Actually now that the new Lt1 crate is about to make its appearance you might as well drop that old school now retro Ls7 into my vert.

love your '68, all editions to date.

I built the center console around it, also moved the wiper switch, wiper door switch and put a power antenna switch (red button) there.

Fantastic work! This is amazing to me - I would have no idea where to start, or how any of this was done. Mind sharing your secret about creating the "shape" under the new covers? (referring to the door panels) Is it some sort of foam that you have shaped?

I've never be exposed to any sort of interior customizing, so it's a complete unknown to me. Very cool - love how yours turned out. It's very clean and tasteful, feels updated but without loosing the feel of a C3.
