Of course we had to matching seat covers.

Finally the FrankenVega has carpeting. First time in 10 years.TJCoyote59's 1975 Chevrolet Vega
TH 350 tranny with a QuickDraw converter, Hurst Quarter stick shifter.

And the new headliner. Pretty easy job. TJCoyote59's 1975 Chevrolet Vega
Just finished some interior work in the back. 6/04/06
Using marine type carpeting(with rubber backing) I cut and glued sections to the frame, sheetmetal and wheel tubs.

I still want to make up some roll bar cover using Vinyl and velcro. Thought about just using that roll bar padding in orange but I think that might be a little too much.

Well went with the orange padding.
What do ya think?
