Interior rework on the ol' 76 GP

[steveeoaktree]

Hey here y'all I reckon I should post the interior work that I am finally getting around to here... Just in case y'all haven't seen the state of the interior I'll post a cpl pics. The trim that goes from the "fisher" area to the headliner literally has mostly just eroded away... the best way that I can put it. Dingy white interior with a split bench and no carpet or headliner as well as a hole needing pan replacement. I found some goodies at the Local junkyard such as the entire left side panels, both "body by fisher" pieces, all of the headliner trim, and all of the trim that connects it together as well. Both black visors too. ( for 40 bucks) I am returning Thursday (next day off) to get both buckets, the console and shifter, and both sets of door hinges to rebuild. I am also going to TRY to get the headliner out without damaging it as it's in perfect condition. The buckets will need totally restored, but no biggie- there all there, back vinyl trim covers and all. So I sanded and painted all of the vertical trim as some were very faded and brittle and will post those as well. More updates later fellas!! Thanks for reading.

Cleaned, primed, and dyed the lower drivers' side door panel this morning, and removed the rear seat and panels::

I wanted a white interior in the GTO sooo bad, but was not to be.  Looks you made a great find.

Man, I like the white as well, but shows dirt so much... Thank you, yes I was abit shocked when he said 40 bucks -- would've paid lots more. I'm sure that I'll find somewhere else to overpay and make it up... ha ha

Nice work! Coming along great! I have a tan interior in the G6 so when I got the Camaro I went with black. The G6 shows all dirt and is a pain. Black is so much easier, except painfully hot in the summer

True ! I have Black over Gray in the Mustang and it does take the A/C awhile to catch up...  I reckon when I can afford new panels, we might go exotic and do them burgundy over charcoal or sum'n. Ended up replacing the fuel return line on her today, and got some more headway made on the vacuum lines but did also manage to get the upper drivers' door panel prepped and dyed! Here's what she looks like:

 

I have to restretch the vinyl or leather over the upper rear panels and adhere them to the fiberglass better before I can dye those, but it'll happen! Also found a set of rebuilt door hinges from the Monte Man for 125 bucks.. yay
