got the interior stripped out, things looked pretty good. i am able to save most everything, but the rear interior panels are shot. original, but in too sad of shape for me to take on. all of the plastics will be re-dyed using sem 'firethorn red'. it's what matches my dashpad, which i can tell used to be black. as i am looking, it appears several trim pieces were black, so i am assuming the original interior was a little toasty.......

the gauge cluster went out for rebuild, the engine is being built, so, time for some interior action......

all the vinyl interior is in good shape, but is covered in tons of dye jobs. it looks great underneath that dye, so i plan to remove all of that, and just treat them with a good vinyl care product. inside of the seat material reads "legendary, 1994". so, something happened to this car around then, but not sure all what yet, still piecing it together......

and as it turns out, brake clean comes to the rescue again. stripped them clean as a whistlem not hurting the vinyl at all.

got all the malfunctioning locks, mirror remote, all sorted, everything lubed, and ready to get covered back up when i am done dying door panels.......

i took this time to also repair all the heater box functions. all works again. but somehow, i screwed up the 'off heat defrost' section, it's backwards now! so, if i want heat, 'off' it is!

all the red bits dyed!

all the white bits dyed! i used performance years brand, with the slight pearl in it..... i also replaced the rear interior panels, got a screaming deal on a set of palco's, i know people don't really care for them, but my fronts were an older set, not original like i thought. so, the price was right, the fronts were already fitted, and the rears didn't take too much modding to fit as well. i replaced the seat backs as well. i will probably sell all the interior parts i replaced, as all of them are original mopar pieces......

all of the dash/steering metal got re-dyed in firethorn red as well. ready for some re-assembly!

heater controls fixed and complete!

radio working and complete!

floors cleaned and prepped for a little sound/heat mat....

rears as well.....

BOOM! all doned up.......

rear panels fit, only problem, i had to really offset the rear window crank hole, it was a no go, not even close. the right side went right on. you can actually see the offset to the right of the handle. i had to transfer the holes for the new snap studs for the tonneau cover as well......

i managed to just steam clean the carpets and re-use them, they looked ok after a good cleaning. installed seat belts too, man, a full, matching set of seat belts for a 70 'cuda was really expensive! i was surprised at that. actually, this is my first mopar, quite a few parts were spendier than i thought they would be. what are ya gonna do eh?

the devil is in the details......

backseats complete!

all door panels fitted and complete! still waiting on the dash cluster though.......
