Default Interior refurb complete with pics

Finally got finished on my interior re-do. Installed new carpet, Classic Instruments speedo and tach and custom radio delete plate. I also removed, stripped and painted the center gauge console and the shift console and refurbished all the fiberoptics.

My goal all along with my car was to have better, modern performance with the drivetrain, brakes and wheels, and stock looking interior. Just subtle details such as the 6 speed shift pattern and the LS1 console plate.

Looks great. I had to re-do my bright blue interior in my 1970. If it wasn't painted navy blue, it was covered in purple/blue velour.....right out of the 70's. Actually, Elvis-like.
