Jay: As usual I'm very impressed. What did you sue for E brake lever? How hard was it to install? Mine is broken and the stock one is not impressive. I'm open to a better idea.

Hi Rick, the E Brake handle was a real PITA. After breaking the original handle into zillions of little pieces I just had to make a new one. I manually machined it from billet. :cheers:

Default Re: Custom Interiors (dudly)

Was just turned onto this site by the guy who did my CUSTOM interior. I believe it was refered to as the indian car or where all the baseball gloves go? Never the less it is custon even following the stock vett lines. I must add that interior has about 100,000 miles on it. I am now down to the only thing left on a full resteration is that interior. The guy that hand breaded and stiched it told me to put neadsfoot oil on it and it came out looking better than the day we put it in. Of course that is my option. I even skinned the doors off the old panel and put it back on a new panels. I would love to send final pics in about a month.
I have been told you will regret selling your first Vett and I believe it. So if you love your Vett as much as I love mine do what you want to it. In most cases it will be better than what chevy did STOCK. I know I have better leather. :flag
