Well it's almost done. So here are the latest pics of the 74.

When I got the car, the carpet was beyond shot. The only good points were that most all of the plastic pieces were in very good shape and only needed cleaned up and redyed. Carpet, door panels, front pillar posts, and rear doors are all new. Everything else, except for the shifter console and dash pad, was cleaned and redyed.

Cleaning up what the factory and previous owners had done proved to be the most challenging.

It's not perfect and there are some thing that I will do different next time, but I feel like it's not bad for my first attempt.

ENJOY!!!

Feel like coming over and helping me do mine. Mine looks pretty darn near like the before pics.

That will be still yet to come on mine. You have done an excellent job on your car. This is what makes it all so nice. Hopefully mine will turn out as nicely as yours.

If it would get me out of the snow that we received today....sure!!!

Thanks for the comments. A lot of late nights and backaches on this job.

After comparing prices and discounts, I purchased the pieces that I needed from Corvette Central. I was able to get a better discounted price from them on one big order. Of course when the packages began to arrive, they came direct from Corvette America and Auto Custom Carpets... :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Tears to my eyes. Looks that good!!!

Yea What HE said! :iagree:


And mine is (or should be) the EXACT same color. Darn.

But I'm gettin' a new engine! Does that count for something?? :lol:

DaBo

Paul, The color is really close. I also have a 76 and the interior color on it is called "Buckskin". The 74 is "Medium Saddle Tan". The 74 color is a little darker than the 76. In fact, that is why the shifter console does not match in the 74. It is out of the 73 that I am parting out and is just a little different than the other two.

Yes, the new engine counts. I hope to have one for my 76 before long.
