Default Completed Interior Resto.!

I took me MANY hours and MANY CND$$$ but I finally finnished restoring the interior of my 'Vette! I t was a lot of work and I learned a lot! Thanks to everyone on the Forum for all your help, asked and archived. Without this MOST VALUED resource, I would have been lost and probably Bubba'ed most of it! :cheers: To all of you!

B-4 and now pics to follow...

Big difference. Looks like you have done a lot of hard work on your car. Now get out there and do a little celebrating. Take it for a spin around the block. :thumbs:

Did you replace all of th einterior pieces (soft trim) or did you clean and "dye" the pieces? If so, what "dye" did you use?

Thanks for all the compliments and praise guys! I really apreciate it! It was a lot of work and I'm quite proud of the results!!!:hurray:

(69stingray) :I (had to) replaced most of the soft pieces (door panels, center header trim and seat cusions) but painted or "dyed" the t-bar trim, w/s posts, ect. with some "custom blended" dye in spray bombs I had shipped up from Edmonton, AB. It's a Dupont blend I believe...

(gdh):I got most of the pieces from Corvette Central... Corvette America's web store wasn't working at the time...

(bgrice): Yes it's the same car!!! Luckily it's a red interior, so the blood I spilled in it won't show!!! :lol:
