New Interior - Carpet to Leather
5 Attachment(s)
It took a few weeks to complete the first winter Cobra project. I ripped out all the stock carpet interior and replaced it with Imported Diamond Tufted Italian Leather. I had a local upholsterer put the panels in the seats and, of course, I have my expert seamstress wife to do the stitching. I even found a little doodad ring to finish off where the battery switch pokes through the carpet. The Meguiars Rich Leather really makes the material stand out.

Nice. Like the shifter boot ring.

Ring...
Thanks. The ball, handle, boot and ring are yours.

By posting I'm assuming you're looking for comments both positive and negative.
On the positive side, it's a masterful piece of craftsmanship. But, sorry to be Debbie Downer, but it doesn't work for me. Nor the carbon fiber dash. Too modern for me. Not necessarily bad just a matter of personal taste. |

I post in case anyone would like to do it and I can offer them help. I do that with all the projects. I already received messages about cost of material and where I got it from. Comments are always appreciated. To understand where I am coming from, I have no interest in shelby authenticity. I never liked them when they came out. The car I own has no connection to them other then a vague copying of the body style. My goal is to make the car the best it can be using modern parts but keeping it simple. Respectfully submitted.

I agree with you Fred G, and the others as well, (Nothing like being Wishi washy :)) Your interior came out great, very nicely done (And your wife's help a huge plus :)). I too lean a little more to the originality, so it comes back to its "Yours" and if it's makes you happy, that all that matters. None of us, have changed (damaged?) an original car, so no harm no foul. Looks like time well spent :) Cheers TommyRot.

Nice job. It think it looks great.

It looks great. I have the same interior, however, the back deck area is carpet. I will follow your lead, unfortunately, my wife is not that handy.

Nice work. The carpet on the tranny tunnel is looking worn (slightly frayed) in my car. I might take on replacing it.

Worn carpet
Mine was starting to fray near the Ebrake handle. Adding the Ebrake recess should solve that.
