Here are a few pictures showing the alterations on the Seats we had made for this Project. As with the Interiors we received on all of our other OE vehicles, we needed to make final adjustments to obtain the proper fit & finish we desired. We removed the Seat covering to add additional cushion material in the areas that were loose fitting. The underlying tension strips were also “beefed up” in order to allow us to pull the “piping” on the Seat Seams tighter. We used a strong fabric tape to reinforce the weak material that was used to hold the piping in place. After spending a few hours making these changes, the Seats now have the desired appearance and are ready for installation. I was also able to polish the vinyl material to give it a Factory luster and sheen. Here are some “BEFORE & AFTER” photos of the work.
Here are a few photos showing the date coded Glass, the Custom Water Shields and the Interior Door assemblies. The Glass had to be custom etched by lower the Logos a full inch. This had to be done because the Belt Moldings were lowered from their original (height) configurations. The Water Shields also had to be custom fabricated to match the altered Door Frames. Here are a few photos that show these characteristics as well as the Arm Rests, Door Handles and Window Cranks in place.
Here are a few photos showing the completed Interior Door Panels. These were one of the more difficult areas of the Car to complete. It took a tremendous amount of Engineering and trial fitting to get these components correct for the vehicle. I’ll have additional photos posted soon that show the rest of the bolt on components in place. (Interior Door handles, Armrests & Lock Knobs) Below are the results.
Here are a few pictures showing the restored the Dash Headlight-Dimmer-Wiper Pod. After detailing the plastic to look new again, the curved upper left corner was sprayed with Trim Black (semi-flat) color. The Headlight-Dimmer-Wiper Control lettering was faded and needed to be re-furbished to look new again. I made an exact reproduction Decal of the lettering and used a Plot Cutting Machine to replicate the exact size of the recessed opening. The old lettering was carefully sanded with 1000 grit sandpaper, the recessed area was airbrushed with black paint and the new Decal applied. You cannot tell the difference from the Factory Original Unit and the lettering is now new and vibrant once again.
Here is a photo showing the passenger Rear Door Panel for this project. It took a considerable amount of engineering & planning to get the proper fit and appearance for this design. We were pleased to find that our efforts provided the exact outcome that we had initially planned for. A Factory look and a perfect, contoured fit. A big “Thank You” to Legendary Auto Interiors for their assistance, attention to detail and phenomenal quality.
