Good Morning All,

As you know the seats have been cut down.
In order to protect my brain bucket we came up with these innovative Headrest brackets.

Tracy made a cardboard template and shipped them to Ron at Wilson Muscle cars.
www.wilsonmusclecars.com



Ron took it to the next level and created the CAD files needed to actually create the brackets
both for the headrest and the roll cage.





Dennis over at High Speed Welding made the roll cage brackets for us.

and Finally TJ over at IMI Manufacturing in Bolingbrook, IL cut the final brackets.

It took a real group effort to make these things and I can't wait to see how Tracy & Jimmy finish these off.



I almost forgot - The UPS Driver that came back to pick these up at my shop so we I could get these to Tracy.

WOW!

Brackets look nice, I think I understand how they'll work. But I'm curious to see them in position.

Yeah !! Along with the rest of the interior

Way cool Marty! I wonder how they'll look in the car...

Good Evening All,

Sorry this post is so late.
My goal is to post every Mon & Thursday till you see the finished product.

Lets start from the beginning



Dave @ Comp Fabrication built the entire dash out of sheetmetal.
As you can see from the above picture we needed the extra space.
We lost a bunch of real estate when the firewall was moved back.



The dash mimics the Factory dash almost exactly.



Yet to install was the glove box - Not to worry that is where the interior guy's do there magic.



Making room for the Autometer gauges they removed from the Dash Surround.



New Home - right under the Vintage Air controls.





Laying the material.



Stepping up the details on the dash with some trim.



Two more Autometer gauges in place.



see ya next week - have a great weekend.

Looks great Marty.
Have a good one bud.

Good Morning All,

So what do you do when you have a good looking center console that no longer fits the quality of the build and the future interior.
You tell the guys at Recovery Room Interiors to have at it and let them see what they can come up with.

Taking everyone way back to the beginning.
This is what we started with.



When we started building the Interior at Comp Fab it was important to the project that
we maintain the factory center consule that was specific to the Syclone, Typhoon & Sonoma GT's.

First version of the Interior was really nice and we all thought the factory door panels were a little weak.



Starting with a clean slate -- the idea's started flying.



Not sure how the color changed to tan, I think I lost the coin toss with Kenny & Tracy.



This is what we handed Tracy & Jimmy and said make it work.



If you can remember back to the last post some of the gauges came out of the dash surround which means
they need to find a new home in the center consule.



Recovering the stock consule might sound like an easy task.
I assure you it takes time and skill to get stitches to line up this nice.
Did I mention that laying the leather this tight and smooth is also a talent?



Finished gauge pod or should I say almost finished.



Not sure if you remember this original dull black shifter surround.
It's amazing what a little color can do.



Details - Simple Pin Punched material adds texture to the interior.



Autometer Gauges Installed.
More Details - Once again we made the call to Wilson Muscle Car and had them cut us some Billet Syborg Emblems.
