Charles, It all came together and looks fantastic.
Can I ask where you got the foam filter covers?
thanks
Victor

Nice work. I like the interior colors, don't think I have seen that combo.

Thanks Mike...certiainly not stock, (and I haven't seen as well) although like colors were offered in later years. I opted for something I would like and need to live with...I was optimistic, and pleased with the results. The dash will need to be re-covered as I did not get that part quite right...

Steve

Thank you Victor... The filters are K&N brand (turned inside out so you cant see the logo), a stock/universal part that arrived as a flat piece. I trimmed them down to size (height first) and then length...they are wrapped around and fastened with the velcro type fasteners supplied, in the back (where you cant see them). My K&N item number was 25-3918...but the 25-3924 should work too. Just a little fabrication work to make em' fit.

Charles,

I'm currently restoring a 59 coupe. Liked the quality of your oatmeal carpet in the photos. What was your source of the interior kit? My car also has the darker brown vinyl interior and did you have a custom shop do the interior or was it a kit from one of the suppliers that advertise in the Registry? Thanks,

George
