Looks great. When is first test drive around the block?

Yeah, its a ton of work but it made for a complete interior, something I really wanted. Should net me some good D&E points =)

I am not too far away from test drive to be honest. I need to get the clutch and brakes all bled then a few more hoses and I could spin around the block......after we get it to actually run. Still needs lots of tuning.

Its funny, I hated the carpet when I first put it in too. but my fear is that all of the detail work I have been working so hard on will just be meh with black carpet. Time will tell, for now though its staying.

Thanks for the compliments. Its personal preference at this point. I didnt like the rear shelf in the lighter color either, but now that its black I dont like it black. I am thinking of building a new one out of sheetmetal and having my upholstery guy stitch a pattern on it and doing it to match the seats. I think that would be the most finished look.

My goal is a european inspired look to the car, not a typical camaro or mustang interior. Some of the best looking Porsche and Ferrari interiors have a contrasting color combo, maybe I am out on a limb here but it might just come together nicely a few more bits and we will know.
