Fourth Gen interiors are excellent. I hope my local Junk Yard gets some nice 4th gens in so i can get me nice interior. LoL.
One thing that I have been noticing is that 4th gen nice interiors are becoming an exception. 10 years ago, almost all of them had nice interiors, now they are getting pretty ratty.
About 9 years ago I passed on perfect seats like yours for $100... I wish I would have grabbed them... hindsight is 20/20.
It would probably kill ya to know that I got them for free. I sold a disk brake rear to someone local. I delivered the rear end to him to see these seats sitting outside his house in the dirt. I asked him what he was doing with them and he said nothing because he didn't like the red. He said I could have them if I wanted. I took them home, removed the covers and washed them. Put them back on and walla, perfect seats.
Wow... the interior was black and everything... bas#@rds!

My interior definately isn't anything special, I honestly hate the seat covers (they were in the car when I bought it). But, I do my best to keep it clean at ALL TIMES. No garbage allowed in my car. Heres some pics:
haha i wish. i had to use the camaro seat tracks, and elongate 2 of the holes on the corvette seat pan. and trim alot of the composite material off the pans so they clear the seat lever to slide the seat forward and backward.
So there is no way to make this work in a t top car?
It's custom made. You can certainly take a piece of pipe and custom make it to fit a t-top car. I can't think of anything around that area that I would trust to bolt it to.
How much would you charge to make me a set of those A-Pillars for the 3rd-4th gen dash?
Well I've gotten a lot better at fiber-glassing since I made those (wait to you see the door panels). In fact due to a glue failure on the vinyl I'll be making them better here shortly.
That said, it would still take about 20 hours for me to recreate them. Plus I would need the car to make sure they fit as no ones puts the dash in the same.

If you're talking about the rear upper one's my car is too old to have them, and as for the front one's its a bad idea without some sort of bracing to keep the bar from being pulled forward. I was hoping to find something easier than putting in a hoop so I could run a 4 point harness SAFELY. Doesn't look like it though. Oh well.
Put a cage in the car and you'll have your bar then.
Lol that was the whole reason of me asking is to avoid having to do a roll cage, but its starting to look like a main hoop is the easiest, most simple SAFE way to run aftermarket harnesses.
Does your car have the mount for the cargo area cover? I'm not sure if it could be reinforced enough to hold a set of belts safely or not, but that might be something to look into.

what should there be extra on the passengers side ?
btw, actually nothing is 2 much diffirent from the stock interior.
just new colors everywhere, and ofcours a digital dash + sony radio.
most people now, notice something like, "I never thought there where white colored dashboards in thirdgens ? " or something like, "I thought all thirdgens came with a dark dashboard because of the steep windshield reflecting the colors in the windshield ?"
Center console? If so take off the 7mm bolts holding the shifter plate. In the glove box department in the backish area are 2 10mm bolts. Another will be reachable once the shifter plate is removed its in the middle. You will angle the socket near where the light usually is. I forget if there is one near the top of the console but I am sure you will have to remove the radio pod via the top two bolts which I recall aren't regular 10mm but I might be forgetting.
Ohh yea you have to remove the shifter handle. Its held in by a C clip that can be reachable on the front side of the handle. A screw driver helps popping it off then just slide the handle off, I had to use some force to get mine off.
interior in my 83 firebird, all custom checker plate panels wanted to something different no one else would have and since im into old school stuff came up with this, also custom gauges, hurst shifter, grant steering wheel, all repainted interior, cars a 4speed muncie swap
...does the center console fit right in? Im assuming it should and if so I need a new one.
