Interior

For the interior, I decided to keep the original Parchment color as a tribute to the original. It went against my original design for the car, but in my mind's eye, I knew it would be incredible once finished. I had Arizen Racing stitch up the front buckets in OEM vinyl but chose the stitching from a 2002 T/A...since they had the right pleating for the look I was going after. Along with the fronts, Arizen made a rear seat cover to match using my original vinyl as a pattern since my car had a fold down rear seat, which differed from the Camaro's. With the new seats, the original standard interior door panels would not suffice, especially since their pattern was much different than the seats. I chose to convert the car to the Deluxe interior for the more modern formed door panels. That also meant all new door mechanisms. It was worth it, they work perfectly with the seats.

When the seats arrived, HOLY DISCO BATMAN! I didn't realize how pearlescent they would be. But they are quite stunning and with the rest of the interior in, I wouldn't trade them for anything. They seem to attract quite the crowd.

I also put down 3-4 layers of Raammat throughout (like dynomat, but without the molestation). Scraping the original liner off the roof is no fun, no fun at all. But I wanted the car to be cool and quiet so it was worth it. Also, my dear friend Sean to whom I owe much gratitude for his assistance is an audiophile. His ambition and my wallet are not on speaking terms...but in the near term the sound deadening was a necessity.
