Future interior with black and charcoal grey leather. I have an appointment with ASM Upholstery on Friday for materials selection. I will post some pictures of what is selected. Wish me luck!

I am also wanting to do LED pipe interior lighting making them invisible by day and soft lamination by night.

Anne is one of her associates there and the place is called ASM Upholstery. It is, however, Sue’s shop. Gas Monkey Garage made them famous.

Thanks. I will be transforming it all into fiberglass later on and finishing with two colors of leather. The phone cable will be hidden by then with a better usb on the panel for charging passenger phone.

After studying dyno test of similar engines and finding that long tube headers are not true power gains for sail driving or cruising, I changed back to factory cast manifolds. https://www.motortrendondemand.com/detail/pick-the-right-exhaust-headers/0_o7vb1ebx/

New dash installed. Will be adding custom wood trim to middle console as well as color matched interior trim pieces.
I also added floor vents into the center console.
