Finally "finished" my interior
Just wanted to share what I put together in my weekend warrior. It's a been a strange combination of parts for a long time (2009-present) but I don't think it will change much from here on out.
I bought the car with a beat down stock interior. Gray carpet, black seats and console/dash.
As part of my LT1/T56 swap I moved from auto to manual and added a stock manual shift boot and a sparco **** I had leftover from another car.
A friend turned me on to a good deal on seats so I jumped on them without doing any measuring
They clearly did not belong in a third gen as my head stuck out over the windshield. About this time I bought a black carpet set for the car and had my 8 point roll bar welded in.
The arm rests had to come out which left my already crappy door panels looking extra crappy. I also managed to sell those seats down the river and buy a new set of very slim buckets for head clearance reasons
Recently I finally got motivated and created new very spartan door panels, and ponied up for a matching steering wheel to replace the 20 dollar special I had put on when I bought the car
Let me know what you think!
Cheers,
Steven

The seats, those sexy buckets. That wheel, thick and simple. The carpet and panels, a juicy black. I think you did darn good on this interior.
Send those pics to 'sparco'....endorsement or perhaps a future discount

Went through today and installed a pair of hella supertone horns and replaced the wiring through to the column. First time I have had a working horn in the car and it is loud as all hell.
