It's been a while since I've posted but I finally got the seats, carpet and headliner of my Chevelle done and I figured I'd post a few pictures.


I had the interior shop cover the Recaro seats to match how the originals would have looked as close as the new shape allowed. They also cut a custom carpet to cover the modified transmission tunnel for the T56, and installed a custom headliner. Love it. The car is a completely different beast now and much more pleasant to sit in! All work was done by the guys at BodyCraft OC (http://www.bodycraftoc.com/) in Santa Ana CA.

very nice. I have the same seats. While others wont be WOWed at them and what you did because they wont know these are the little things that i was looking for. A factory look with modern style. Nice work

My whole approach to everything with the car is OEM +. I want it all to look as though it could have come from the factory this way but with all of the additions that modern technology affords us.

Thankfully I have a family connection with the shop that did the work so that helped a lot. What I was quoted by some of the big name shops close to me (that you've probably heard mentioned on a lot of car makeover shows) were downright painful to cover two seats, and put in a carpet and headliner.
