Thanks for the compliments. I truly had little to do with it other than choice of main and complimentary leathers. John Miller, owner of Sullivan Upholstery, designed and built it.
Front seats came out of a 2005 GTO. Back seats were built on 3/4 plywood bases with foam hand sculpted to match the front seats. The front GTO seat bolsters were tamed down considerably.... and a 2 inch piece of foam 10 inches wide was deftly incorporated on top 1/3 of front and back seats....... replacing the head rests. He made everything flow so very well.
Hats off to JM !!!!Last edited by mike super; 01-04-2017, 05:00 PM.

I'm glad you "tamed" the head rests. There are few things that look out of place as much as a tall head rest in an old car. Your upholsterer is an artist."In the heart of Arkansas."

Ditto..."custom" often means "ostentatious" and "tacky." Not here, though. A tip of the hat to you and Mr. Miller!
