restoring the interior, need suggestions.
Im looking at either restoring the original seats or just buying new seats. They need new leather, padding and I think the driver side seat's frame is a little screwed up. Should I just buy new seats, and if so should I go with the origonal style or go for a newer vette seat?
Im also going to put new carpet down. Were is a good place to get new carpet? Thanks! :cheers:

I used Willcox for mine. They sell Corvette America parts. You may want to put down a thin layer of insulation such as EZ Cool before you install the carpet. It is about $30 a roll and will do the whole car.

I can't quite tell what year your car is (looks to be '74-'77~ish)... So I'm not sure you can take the same route I did, while restifying the int. of my '79...
I bought a full leather mounted seat cushion set (not sure if this available for your year?) That is new leather(all real cow I might add) new foam and springs... I'm not sure if you have that option with your year car...?
If you're planning on doing the WHOLE interior(door panels,doorpulls, cosole...ect.) , I would suggest that you get all pieces from the same supplier, at the same time (budget permitting of course!) to keep colour continuety...
There a lot of excelent suppliers for our cars, take your time and chose the best pieces you can afford...
Good luck, and if you need any other help, let us (the Forum) know, or you can email me...
