I used a foam called close cell foam it was like $3 a yard. When you lay down the vinyl use a heat gun to warm it up. It makes it more flexable dont heat it upo to much or it will hurt the fabric. Agian make sure you use a good glue.

 

Everything looks great man! I've been looking for pics of custom door panels for a while. If you did the door panels again would you do any thing different? Different material, different foam, etc. You said use good glue.... What would you consider good glue for this application? Also, did you replace the foam on the seats before you recovered them? Thanks guy, and once again, looks great!

 

No i wouldnt have used any other material or anything but i should have used my old panels as a guide not 89 panels. Its like the holes are off by a 1/4". I used contact cement dont us that spray can crap it holds but not for a long time.

 

I hope to recover the doors sometime this spring/summer depending on time and how well other things go with the car when I pull it out of storage.

 

The interior looks great. Seems like everybody either loves the velvet or hates it. It isnt my style, but it looks like you did a good job. Definitely much better looking then it was when you started im sure.

The dash looks great except for the wrinkles in the corner.

 

looks nice!

 

Looks great man, I'm a little confused on the SS emblems but still looks good

 

nice interior. i really like it and think it looks good with your car.

 

Yeah i couldnt really help the corners. I did a lot better job on the passenger side.

I decided to use the 69 Camaro SS emblems cause i think they look sweet and im turning mine to a SS. Just cause Chevy downsized the third gen doesnt mean its not a SS in heart.

 

cool seats except for the velvet, id feel like i was in a casket..


why does it say ss every where?

 

Cause i love the SS emblem to me it means bad to the bone

 

Interesting... i always thought it meant super sport...

 

Everyone knows it means Super Sport but doesnt it give you a feeling of power everyrime you look at it.

 

It looks fantastic... but PLEASE, PLEASE trash that steering wheel. Man that thing looks terrible! Beautiful seats, beautiful dash, and that ugly wheel.

But I reiterate, those seats look GREAT.

 

Materials used will always be different to everyones personal taste, but I must say the workmanship looks awesome.
Good job!

 

Where'd you get the plans/layout for the seats? I would like to know, you've inspired me to redo my seats with vinyl.

 

Use the old seats cut out the seams and trace the old ones in to the new vinyl. Do one seat at a time just in case you forget how it goes back together.

ANd yes i plan on replacing the old steering wheel.

 

Hey! There's nothing wrong with the steering wheel! It's big, and bold just like the car. At least there's no problem finding the horn like on some of these car nowadays. lol Have you ever priced one of those wheels?
