Thanks guys!

The carpet is custom made... i bought a roll of squareweave carpet and black leather for the binding from Josh at Relicate Leather... He also supplied the alcantara that we used on the seats, shifter boot and armrests.

Interior is amazing. Did the TMI seat covers just get redone with the Alcantara or are they all new seat covers on TMI seats? How do you like the seats? Sufficient bolster for holding in the corners? What do you have for belts?

Thanks! They are TMI pro classic buckets and i had them custom make them with the alcantara inserts.
I like them, decent bolster support and comfortable. I just have lap belts for now but need to install 3-point belts. I need to find a belt setup that will work

[Motown 454]

They look great in there.

I really dig this, awesome job! The fact that you left the interior mostly alone with just enough touches to set it off is well done. I love the tunnel extension with the cup holders and the manual windows. Nice design work and execution.

Thanks! I wanted just enough modern touches but still have that classic feel.

Its been a couple years since I’ve posted an update. Hope everyone is doing well and working in their rides!

No major changes but finally switched over to Holley Sniper EFI with the Hyperspark ignition system. Running great and no more finicky starting!

Got a few more things on my to-do list.

Looks great! Did you end up finding a 3 point belt setup that would work?

[steveZL]

Thanks! 3pt belts are on my list for this year. Considering a harness bar but want to keep back seat access for the kids.

Looking for ideas??

Very nice!

I like the door handles-whose are they? after going through your thread on your build, my 64 F-85 Pro-touring build and your Chevelle have a lot in common.

Thanks... the door handles and window cranks are from the Ringbrothers.
Nice F85!

What an awesome build. Hoping my 66 Buick Special can look that good!

[Boosted Falcon]

Beautiful build. I have a real soft spot for 64-64 Malibu's my mom and dad bought a new silver blue SS in 65.

[1965_SS]

My white 65 has the identical factory blue interior as yours. It looks REALLY nice! Great job on that.

Todd... my car was originally white with blue interior. A couple owners ago it was painted blue but the interior was still orig when i bought it. I like the factory two tone interiors so when i made the custom seats i wanted to have that look
