Customer Interior Ideas?
Any pics of custom interiors you feel were well executed whether you like the particular style or not? Looking for some ideas...
By "well executed", I mean something like the following... (Yes, I understand this is blasphemy for some.)

Well executed...depends on your frame of reference... I have seen many that just don't match the car.
Mines a work in progress-
I'm trying to mimic a Lamborghini Miura-
Lambo
classic look- I feel matches my Corvettes vintage-
Custom -but not really modified-
This is one of my favorites-
Some interior pics I have saved-

Im a modder but man the c3s have a really sweet interior,
If radical my vote goes to what richard is doing its modern yet retro in a timeless way not all "look at me" like it seems most of the new top dollar restro mods are trying to do,
In my case im going old school road race theme so things like extra toggles, period correct racing seats, radio block off plate ( mp3 system hidden )
In the old school vein i love diamond and tuck and roll but its got to be in the right car,

Not over the top or extreme by any means but very well done. Notice the shark gills incorporated into the door panels. Modern but classic design.

Man, all of those interiors look great.
I really like the grab handle on the counsel, wife says make one of those for me to hold on to. I will get right on it..
I am Old school because i am old, if some company would come up with a bolt on custom door panel, dash, counsel setup i would go for it.

Looks good Richard. Im kind of with Bats, I love the original dash layout, but I did install autometer guages in place of the stock instruments. The center cluster guages, unless you're a Corvette guy, most people have no idea. My recent addition is autometer electric speedometer and tachometer. Again most people will never know. It all started with the inaccuracy, and my frustration with a 45 yr old guage that gm didnt give a crap about being accurate even when new. IE.water temp, 15% off was acceptable.
