Default Completed interior

Interior is finally complete. Had to redo one seat twice, and had to get rid of original foam for the arm rest. I replaced it with some memory foam I had from an old matress. That worked great and is much better than the original foam.

I like the look however the center armrest looks a little too fluffy for me.

Nice job!

Don't think I could take that much red on a yellow car.

Looks Brett, can't wait to see it in person. That GNOCC show "rdline" is telling you about is the one I mentioned to you that's in Sept. He's given you the date, good. I'll be there, but not entering, just looking, eating, and looking more. Maybe we could meet up someplace and cruise in their together. Just a thought.

I actually like the color combo... the arm rest does look comfy...None of my business but what did the total cost?

The car came from the factory with Torch Red interior. So the door panels came from GM. If you see it in person it is not nearly as bright as in the pictures.

Please feel free to keep the McDonalds adds, dolls, pictures comming, maybe someone from Mcdonalds Corporate will read and get an idea to sponsor me. But then again I didn't come up with the colors, GM did, I just tweeked it and toned it down some.

Renegad I am signed up for that show already. Not for the show, just the fun of being there. Too many way nice (more money, more custom) than mine.

Seats came from DJ Motorsports, I believe they were 699 with all of the other red/black pieces.
