Me and my girlfriend Cindy did this interior.  

I'm still in shock.

I will have it in the Basement at Detroit. Stop by and say hi.

I like it! That's the first pics I've seen since the frame shots. Car looks very good. What seat did you use?

The seat is fabricated from marine grade plywood and foam.

It is very comfortable and I love the way it fits the car.

That looks GREAT!! Can't wait to check it out on Saturday.

I built the seat for my 5W outta ¾" MDO and 080." aluminum but I had to have Jim Larsen pad and stitch it for me.  Did you lengthen the front of the  seat bottom for more leg support?

You and Cindy are most impressive :D

LOOKS comfortable ... nicely done

White ... would not stay white long in my roadster ... it would be dingy grey after all these years.

Thanks for all the compliments. We had a great time doing it.

I have always wanted to do trim work here at the house, I do Corvette interiors at work, just never had the sewing machines.

Cindy works at a custom boat cover shop that is right across the street from our house, so she was able to do all the sewing for me so it worked out great.  And I still get to sniff the glue :D

Been a long cold winter this year and I cant wait to get this car out and enjoy it. It will be nice to see everyone at the show.

Looks great bud!  Better be careful or there'll be a line out your door with folks waiting in line to get theirs done.

I'll stop downstairs on Wed and say hi.
