Here are few beauties from fall GG this year

But of all of them there I like the 50,s vinyl the best LOL.....

Actually my Z28 is a Type LT which did not have the same interior as a typical Camaro. Seats had a corduroy inserts as well as Door panels. Those interiors remind me of my Moms Caddy.

Those interiors remind me of my Moms Caddy.

Yep, Caddy interiors are really nice. My seats are out of a Caddy.

I've always liked the 55 waffle interiors. Bucket seats with that material might look pretty cool.

You can get leather in a waffle pattern lol. Actually might look good as a accent some how in your modern design. I like the perf I have perf in the cushion areas of my cutlass. Are you planning the darker color as the dominant or the lighter color. Both will look great with your color sceme.

The orange-tan is the dominant color and the charcoal is the accent. Most of the cargo area will be charcoal, with most of the seating area being tan. The top of the dash, top of the doors, and all the beltline interior trim will be charcoal leather. He tells me he can cover all the interior moldings with leather with no problem. The carpet will be charcoal wool. My interior guy says 7 hides for the whole car plus 6 yards headliner and 8 yards of carpet. He thinks we need 1.5 hides perforated but I think we need half of that assuming zero waste, so 1 full hide should do it. I measured every part so I think I'm being conservative. He thinks it's half orange and half charcoal, but I think it's 2/3 orange and 1/3 or so charcoal. He's the expert, but I've put a tape to it and put it all in a spreadsheet. The only thing I am unsure of is layout issues and waste.

I've seen all kinds of embossed leathers and the waffle would be cool if it was a 55. I decided to do something different in the area above the armrests, and that's perforations.

He is right about the leather stretched over the moldings. My son does upholstery and learned how to use the monkey snot glue working at a place that built helicpter interiors. Its amazing how they can fit around almost anything. Are you going to pad the dash with leather to match moldings?

[chevynut]

Yes the dash will be padded charcoal leather. My interior guy does a lot of work on aircraft at DIA too. I don't know how he plans to get the leather around the ends of the moldings, especially at the door and tailgate openings. The big casting at the bottom of the liftgate looks tough to me but he says he can do it. If that turns out to be impossible the moldings will be painted charcoal like the bottom of the dash.

This Sid Chavers interior is the exact same color leather as my lighter sample above. Notice the padded dash... I can't tell if the beltline moldings are covered. My carpet will be a little lighter charcoal and I noticed he used the tan around the edges of the carpet for the mats and elsewhere which is interesting. I'm hoping I don't have too much charcoal.

Have you picked out an instrument panel yet?

I was wanting one of the custom factory looking 140 mph versions with full guage sweep but guy on the other site ordered one took 21 months to deliver. I hope he doesnt have service issues with it...

[chevynut]

I'm going with Dakota Digital VHX instruments with black face and white LEDs. I don't like either the red or blue LEDs. I was considering the carbon fiber face but they don't offer it with white LEDs for some reason. One DD guy I talked to at SEMA told me they don't offer it because it doesn't look good.
