1962 Corvette Restomod

[67vet]

The interior is complete. The car looks even better in person.

Now the trunk is getting a custom makeover.

JEEZ........ It looks so good in the pictures that I didn't think it was
possible to look better. Myself, I wouldn't get into that interior with
shoes on for anything without a very large floor mat! What a GORGEOUS
Vette.......!

I know what you mean. I need driving floor mats and show floor mats.

The trunk will have the same carpet as the floor. - No trips to Home Depot to load up bags of dirt and mulch. :L

Wow Roger.....Do I get a ride in that beautiful interior? I WILL take my shoes off for that. :L Real nice job! Can't wait to see it in person.

The project is complete on the 62 Restomod.
Jean-Noel did an outstanding job. His attention to detail is amazing.
He completed the visors, floor mats and trunk.

The headliner in the hardtop matches the color of the leather on the seats.
You can see this and other examples of his work on his website:

It has been several weeks that the 62 Corvette was in the shop getting a new interior and trunk.

Now that she is complete, I took her on her first drive today.

Absolutely beautiful!

Hopefully we will have a few more warm Chaple Hill NC days. I have 4 rims to polish inside and out.

Much cleaner look, isn't it?

If you don't need it in your state it is absolutely a better look. I'd like to see the area behind the bumpers blacked out.
When left painted body color it looks to me like someone just forgot to black it out. Just my opinion though.

How about blacking out that area and making grilles to match the center grille?

Dec 30 2011 - It got up to 62 in Chapel Hill NC today. So I had to take the car out for one more drive for the year.

 

[67vet]

I changed the color of the seat track and frame to fawn beige.

It's these kind of little details that make the difference!

Nice pictures Roger! Thanks for posting. We had a pretty good time together and the display looked great! Gave out about 79 Newsletters with membership applications in them. Along with 20 Club Trifolds. Some really nice cars there. Too bad that there was no more room for that 1933 Cadillac. Did you get a few pictures of that one?
