1979 Oyster interior

i'll try to post some pictures. i gave the wife a digital camera for christmas, so bear with me while i try to figure out how to do it.
by the way, with the new seats i sit over an inch higher and being over 6' 3" my head is hitting the tops. i guess it's time for some serious driving to break them in.

I finally got some pictures and published them here:

Just click on 'pictures' at the left and there should be 2 pictures there. All I have left is the steering wheel and the interior will be awesome. Willcox is supposed to offer the original leather wrapped wheels anytime now.
Let me know if this doesn't work.

Try to order all the dye you need the first time. When we were working the interior of the '76, we found slight shade differances between 'lot numbers' of the dye from the same company.

Hello everyone,

thanks to a lot of good advice received from some of you, I finished painting the interior of my Vette Friday night (April 22). Here are some pics showing the interior before and after.

OWEN - you were right. It took me 7 cans that I got in 3 lots and there were differences in shade. Also, 2 of the 7 cans seemed to contain a more liquid dye that was making drops on the painted surface.

MARKO1979 - I looked at your pics and your interior is looking very good - excellent job !

NORMVET80 - Thanks Norm for the hint regarding the store in Montreal. It allowed me to do the job with almost original dye.

Let me know what you think of it !

Roger and Normand - please change the HTML Tags in your replies from IMG to URL. The size of the images not only causes page display issues but they really hammer members who do not have high speed internet connections.

for example:
changing ?IMG?http://www.VetteRegistry.net/member_uploads/4001_4100/4004/108_0810.jpg ?/IMG?
- to -
?URL?http://www.VetteRegistry.net/member_uploads/4001_4100/4004/108_0810.jpg ?/URL?, replacing the question marks (?) with vertical bars or pipes (|), makes the image a clickable link that will display in a new browser window, like this:
http://www.VetteRegistry.net/member_uploads/4001_4100/4004/108_0810.jpg
- or like this:

If you need help resizing images or other options for displaying large images please get in touch with me, Adam, or any of the other moderators.

Thanks!
