This (above R) is the owner of Hi Grade Upholstery, Don Lyons Jr.,Located At: 110 N. Franklin St., Daytona Beach, Fl. 32114 Phone: (386) 253-3735, as he works on the carpet for "LOVE". He's tough to work with, very abrasive, but does fantastic interior work. Choose your poison.
This guy, Jim, (above), was a genius with interior work. Real quite while working, always had his headphones on listing to his music. He didn't have a lot to say, but what a talent.
Here is the glove box, I pirated from a Pontiac Fireo, then modified it to 3/4 scale. I'm using it for my CD changer, by Alpine. That's 'flocking' applied to the interior of the compartment.
"Love Is Blue" logo on the old seats. (circa 2000)
NEW INTERIOR CONSTRUCTION 2005/2006
New fiberglass seat shells being modified to 'wrap around' the interior. Once covered in hi-density foam, they turned out more comfortable than any I've had in there before. If at first you don't succeed... Practice makes perfect.
New door panel designs being constructed.
Door panels redesigned. Note how I designed the seats and door panels to tie together so it all flows ending in the windshield post.
Passenger side winshield 'A' post shell being constructed to cover exposed rollbar around windshield. Was then covered in matching blue vinyl.

Here's LOVE at Time Machines, (yes, the same killer Red $1/2 million Motion Camaro for the SEMA show 2005) that was being built for Joel Rosen while my Vette was there!
I'm getting my newly redesigned interior re-upholstered. I was so lucky they agreed to 'slip' my car into their tight work schedule. They usually have a
3 year wait to get cars into their shop for work.
Daren, of Time Machines, doing his upholstery thing to the pieces I built, and making them look GOOD!
Logo embroidered on headrests.
Duel rollbar cover behind seats, 'A' pillar, headerbar padded and covered over the roll bars.
Dash and center console.
Phil Somers, was a partner at Time Machines, but has since opened his own shop called; American Super Cars, also in Hudson, Fl. His shop just built the wild mid-engine '63 Split Window Vette that debuted @ SEMA 2007, called V-7. Phil told me he took inspiration from some design ques off my Vette for his creation. WOW!!
Pushing it out of Time Machines. Note the nose & bumper of Joel's new Motion Camaro (still under construction at that time) just to the left of my car in the photo on the left?
The Motion Camaro under construction while my car was in Time Machines.
Happy Birthday! Loaded up for the tow home by my trusty old '91 'Buford' wagon. Brought my vette home just in time for my 61st birthday with the major part of a beautiful new interior done.
