Hoping to receive the last thing we need to start the interior fab today.
Once the headliner pattern arrives we should be ready for lift
off.

Mr Pibb...
Mr. Pibb is tantamount to drinking a Tab!
I hope Frank doesn't see that before he's done with Eternity!Last edited by Jagarang; 05-09-2006 at 11:16 AM.

Seat are recovered
The first pics were of initial console seat and dash mock up, and show the seats before being recovered in the new color...
Some random photos that some may not have seen yet....
In the beginning....Well almost.
I've owned the car for 7 years when these photos were taken. I drove in from 1987 through 1991 or so. These were taken in 1994-1995 during my first Body Shop Penitentiary stint.
Currently looking like this.....
And hoping to look like this....

Now THAT is an awesome update Kevin. Those seats look sooo comfortable and I really like the design. Is the top part of the seat open for 4 or 5 point seat belts? Either way it looks really cool. The engine is beautiful too. Cant wait to see your car going!

Thanks Adam.
The seats are C5 Corvette Sport Seats.
When we recovered the seats in our material, we got rid of the Corvette lettering in the upper back rest just below the hole. The hole is factory GM, but now that you mention it, I wonder if they intended it to be strictly cosmetic, or to have a purpose as you suggest?
Anybody know?
My guess would be just cosmetic, to differentiate a "Sport" C5 package option, over standard.
Kinda makes me go "HHMMMMMMMmmmm" (like Arsenio Hall might say)Kevin.

It's designed to make room for the hair raising up on the back of your neck as you dive into a turn face first.
Looking good dude. Hurry!!________________

I wonder why they didn't design anything into the seat bottom to accomodate "Sphincter Pucker" when leaving a turn butt first!!:3gears:

How'd you all bolt the C5 seats onto the floor? The seat riser is right in the way. Originally Posted by Jagarang

Now the bad mews..
EFI...
The seats aren't bolted in in those pictures. I'll get back to you when we work out the seat mounts if you'd like.
The bad news today....
SUPERCOOLER gets the BOOT! Unfortunatly, allthough we wedged the unit under the dash and got it mounted, the rest of the dash just wouldn't go together with it in there. The thing is monstrous and just didn't work. We're going to have to go with a Compact unit to get all the stereo equipment and console into the car. The upside is that the compact unit will fit uner the dash more and intrude into the passenger foot well MUCH less and look a thousand times better.
These projects just love to
the build process.

Don't feel too bad about not fitting the supercooler. My car only has the 2-60 model. Two open windows and 60 mph.
