That is going to be one killer car. Upholstery is awesome!!! It probably wont happen. But with that new interior, I would take extra precautions with the overspray. They are way too nice to be near new paint.

I have to agree. I'd pull those seats out of there while paint etc is going on. Those look killer! |

That should look real good once you get paint on it. That color combo will be nice. I was always torn between the turbine wheels and the five spokes. You made a good choice if you are going to have charcoal. I dont like the turbines unless they are painted gold. Thumbs up, keep us posted.

Thanks for the replies--the seats will be removed before paint as the doors will be painted off the car,along with the hood and trunk lid.The seats were done by a local upholstery guy for $1000.00 for both front and rear seats with the Z28 logo and the headliner was done in charcoal to match the seats.Got new door panels as well, and will have a charcoal insert as well.The wheels were powder coated for $100.00 total including sand blasting,primer and powder coating-If you want phone numbers send me a PM or email.Last for the engine compartment- will be painted as well.Am going to upgrade the heads with aluminum heads and add a NOS system.Can't wait to get on the road.

Mine is SOOOO close to that stage, but I can't find anybody that will finish it off. I can only do so much in the bodywork area. Getting that final stage is tedious work and needs a special touch.
can't wait to see it in color. (your's that is)
