I restored my car not once but twice in my garage. Started out as a numbers matching RS 327 and pretty much did everything except body and paint. The first go around it was restored to original and stayed til last December when I decided to give it a strictly bolt on pro touring feel and dropped in a new engine.

We used 99-02 firebird seats. Here is a link to the build. There is 5 different albums and the interior pictures are in Marks 69 camaro finished car. The headrest has been shaved down also to fit the seat better.

Hopefully this is not too off topic, but there's something going on with your car that I'd like to point out. Judging by your avatar you don't mind beating on your high end muscle car. That is a trait seen more in those that do thier own work. A testament to the fact that we have more fun with our cars. And although my cars aren't any where near the caliber of yours, i've tried to do most of my work im my one car garage or a driveway. We did my Mustang's suspension and disc brake conversion in a buddie's driveway.

Makes me feel right at home.

Well here you go.
