I thought that this would be great to post your guys' 1st and 2nd gen custom interiors up (stock is fine too). Wagons are even better if possible. If you can post up pictures and include a description on the color, material you used, and if it's original or custom.

 

[Shawn F.]

I will start it off with a nice Chevy II that I found on a custom interior shop website with a GREAT links page on anything you want to find on interiors and materials...

I cant imagine how much money and time went into that interior but I think it's PERFECT!
Enjoy!

That must have cost a pretty penny.

Very Nice Car.

:no::no:


I'd say at least double your guess:yes::yes:

 

[63 Chevy II]

You think? We had a 38 Ford done a few years back and it was a total job with a little fab work on the seat risers and door panels and it cost about 2500. I can't imagine more fab work and different materials being more than 4 more grand.

Not an interior guy so I could be wrong though!

everyones car is so nice. I think I better kick up my game a little

 

[Shawn F.]

Nice interiors guys! As for the car I posted I wouldn't doubt that it cost around $8000 easily. That is including the gauges, carpet, insulation, labor, fabric materials (especially if it were ultra leather), etc.

 

[wagonizer13]

The fun part will be when someone compliments you on it you can say " I did it my self".

Here's the interior in our wagon. We tried to make it look close to stock while not being stock. We got lucky and found an NOS roll of 1963 Impala seat fabric for the seat inserts.

I recently talked to shannon ref his interiors and he said they start at 16k. and they take several months to do. very nice though. I am currently trying to duplicate the ac vent valence. we'll see.

CaddyDaddy,
What A/C unit setup do you have and what kind of vents are they? That is EXACTLY what I want for my wagon. I love the setup! Is that a kit specific for the year wagon or no? How much fab work was needed? As far as the rest of the interior, I really like it. I'd love that same setup but in a tan.

Here are a few of mine. Seats are carbon fiber wraped in Black leather. Carbon fiber gauges and panel. Carbon fiber radio deleate panel. Billet Specialities steering wheel, window cranks and door handles. A little blast of the blue stuff.

wow 16k???

i figured 10k, and i know what materials cost, guess i am not surprised, his work is impeccable, i have yet to find a flaw in any of it (at least in pictures) - although his designs are a tad boring to me (they all look the same) nice though

makes me want to keep practicing to get better, I want some of that 16k money ..hahahaha

I hear ya on the boring part! Not to say that Shannons interiors are boring by any means but I think for me, and probably for you, when I go to a bunch of car shows and see these super trick interiors, they all tend to get kind of stale after awhile. They're beautiful but just nothing new that peaks the interest.

It's tough to really design something that stands out! I'm going through that right now with my project. Hopefully I'll be able to pull it off and introduce some new and exciting things!

I love his work. I like boring or plain and simple. I dont like going to shows where the cars have bowties all over the headliner, seats, door panel, trunk and all sorts of colors and designs. I like plain, clean and simple. Same with exteriors and emblems on new cars, I can't stand all the emblems and back window decals, etc. Looks like people tried too hard when this is done on the interior and it is just a clutter.
