TAC Tech > Interior
Finally some interior upgrades
N PRGRES:
They got the bird level now. Much better.
tinpusher:
Very sharp , I really like the use of the two different fabrics.
roadking77:
Yes, those look fantastic. x2 on the combination of materials.
N PRGRES:
My goal was to appear as close to "stock" as possible. The original plan was to use the same fabrics as the 81, but the cost that SMS wanted for the material was way over my budget, so I went this route. The seats also use a dark thread to pull in the dark maroon dash and center console.
TATurbo:
Those seats look great! I went through the same thing with SMS and the NOS 1981 fabric. I wanted to redo the stock 'Custom' interior which had a one year only pattern in '81. But, the price was outrageous, and when I talked to a couple of places about making the seats they both suggested 40 year old NOS material might be hit or miss regarding durability. One of the places said they had issues with NOS stuff from SMS in the past. SMS got really offended and miffed when I asked about the quality of the material. They guy literally upped the price 20% (from the beginning of the phone call and quoted price on samples) and told me to take it or leave it.
I left it..and got full leather (skirts and all) seat covers in the original style for much less.
I saw 5th TA mention the 85 MPH Speedo wanting a higher speedo w/original style font.
I had the same desire...Plus I wanted the tach changed to 6500 RPM red-line to match the LS1. I got my stock gauges refaced/re-calibrated by AutoInstruments. It required a compromise though...They had to use an early 2nd gen font. I like that this allowed me to retain the Check Engine light too.

Sorry for the hijack...Just wanted to mention that AutoInstruments in Virginia might be able to come up with something for 5th TA.
Anyway...The interior looks amazing and I like the new gauges N PRGRES...I hope you get to spend a lot of miles enjoying them! Looks sweet!
