Hi W,
Yes, it looks VERY nice!
Interiors are lots of work. Much more then most people anticipate. They take so much time making everything fit well.
Also, almost each thing you do covers up what you've done previously, so 'back-tracking' can take a long time.
A perfect example is having everything together and realizing the radio or tach isn't working anymore!!!!
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

I mostly used stuff as needed from Zip and Ernie. Corvette America floor mats with double logo.
The padding kit sold here for about $100. Plus reflectix as needed. 3M spray adhesive.
Rust-Oleum semi-gloss black. (a little shinier than stock), the red boot, Hurst shorty shifter. The bulb and screw kits. The modified radio bezel (69 up style), had to trim the plastic off the bottom. Plastic compartment doors - had to trim to fit. JB Weld and plastic mollies as needed to fix screw holes. '82 seats on the '68 tracks. That custom rear sound bar they all sell (had to trim to fit a vert). Flat black to blackout stuff as needed. New Ebrake console and '82 style pad over that. And LOTS of time and care.
Only thing I would do really over is get the clock replaced with quartz while it's apart, but mine works as it is - for now.
