those seats look great and really comfortable.

I was thinking to doing something similar. the seats in my 97 Trans Am are amazing, and I have driven thousands of miles in them at a time. So I was thinking to get a set somewhere (ebay or junkyard) and getting them reupholstered to look like the original deluxe interior seats (comfortweave inserts)

I have seen pictures of guys doing it with early 4th gen Camaro seats to make them look like the standard 1st gen firebird seats

TMI Products make a sport seat version and I am looking at those for ease a very little cost.

those look quite a bit like the original Camaro/standard Firebird seats. Nice.

This is what my deluxe seats look like

Here's the door panel game plan, trying to keep the look a little nasty so decided to go for an industrial look and show the hardware.

Mad props Lenie. I can see what you meant by interior taking time and patience ...

Looks great! Did your father help with the door panels as well? I need to learn how to do door panels and such along the way. I can't afford custom and I'd rather not go with stock myself. The red was a good choice against the black exterior.

Ron, thanks. If I knew what I was doing, it wouldn't take so long. Trial by fire ya know. I ended up running out of perforated so I'm going to send another hide to that place you recommended in Cal... they were good. I've been at this interior now for a couple months and I was laying on the couch the other day thinking, ya know if somebody breaks into my house and robs the place while I'm at work.. please just don't steal the leather hides in the dining room or I'm screwed!!:bang:

Thanks Trey, I only have him help if I need sewing done. I'm doing the door panels and and center console myself and it's slow going. Alot of time on the computer trying to figure it out. Just the other day I get the inserts done on the passenger side, took me about a day and a half trying to get everything to fit right and wrapped, I then fit them on the main panel and the fit great and suddenly noticed I used regular leather instead of perforated which I used on the drivers side to match the inserts on the seats. It got very loud in my house for the next 5 minutes or so:bang: :bang: It's hell to get old.:lol: It's very nice having Tracy(Recovery Room) and Shannon(Interiors by Shannon) on the board to help and get ideas from, Two extraordinary upholsterers as we all know.
