Haha yes! I was just at a wedding that was at the building where Loki pulled out the person's eye in Avengers. Good ol' Cleveland!

While you are at it you may want to consider lowering about a foot.

(Looking at the interior house pictures I'm guessing you're not married. )

Best of luck with the project.

I wasn't going to do much to the interior trim, but as I was putting in the black carpet today I really noticed how beat up it was. I grabbed some blue fabric, and I went to work on this piece. I think I will be using black vinyl for the armrest but for that I need to bust out the needle and thread...

This piece was the hardest yet. If any of you ever want to change the color of your glovebox or piece under the steering column, don't tear off the old vinyl.

It was 60 degree day in Cleveland today so I had to open up the car and put some of it back together. Had to put a new battery in it too, oh well.

The roll cage isn't bolted down yet as I will wait to figure out my seat ordeal before I secure it down. Didn't install any dash pieces yet either. I will install both door panels once I figure out why my drivers window sound like it's crunching when it rolls up and down. Sometimes I have to pull up on it to assist it. Not sure if it's the motor or if something needs adjusted. Any way...This is my progress.

Here are some terrible phone pictures of the progress today. Reinstalled the glovebox and the piece under the steering column. Also, I pulled off the cover off the center console and wrapped it myself. I was going to order one with the Corvette emblem but decided to save more money to put towards the seats. I will probably have a large for sale thread of these tan interior parts once I am done. I'll probably install the rest of the dash pieces this weekend and post pictures. The only tan pieces left that I haven't got are the seat belts so I have to figure out what I will do. Nearing the end...

Hey man you are definitely "bolder" than I am.....

I'm big comic book hero fan (have all the movies) but I think this is a bit much.... borerline....

That being said, I wish you luck with the project & you have a HUGE talent for interior pieces, that quality of the wrapped parts looks incredible.
