After building interiors for other people's cars this past 3 years I will finally be able to build my own for my dusty blue spider sitting in the garage. I thought I would start this thread to record my progress and to provide a reference to those who haven't yet installed their interior.
Here is my car:

Rob,
Kinda sounds like my progress!! My 87 still sits outside with the original Fiero body stripped off waiting for my Mirage body to go on. Maybe in another 4 years that will happen . . . Or not!

I picked up these seats on clearance which is a beige tan which is not exacty the color that I'd like, but that's what I have, so I'll probably do a black/beige combo.

Pete: Never got your message, but that's great about the Mirage. I took alot of pics of it when I saw it at the Knotts show a few years back. Robert: I'm in Seattle. FieroInteriors@Juno.comStarted fabricating the urethane & acrylic components for the instrument panel. I'm actually fabricating parts for two dashes right now; saves time in the long run. |

Your seats look fine, but you may be interested to know a lot of Ferrari guys are replacing their original leather seats with OMP and MOMO racing seats. They're more comfortable on the track and and look cool too. You can find them for only a couple hundred each. Or you might find a Ferrari owner foolish enough to sell you his original seats cheap. If you get the racing seats, get OMP or MOMO six point harnesses to match. Very cool!

JC Whitney has leather recliners for $300 ea.
Fabricated more urethane panels. Pressurized & heat cured. I'm not looking forward to doing the fiberglass part coming ahead.

Rob - I think I paid only about $200 for each of these OMP seats in my 308. The belts were more, but that made the look and are of course required for some events at the track. I had to remove the stock shoulder belt to make room in this car, but not the other. My original leather seats are in storage if I ever want to make it stock again. (Sorry - not for sale.) http://www.kitcarlist.com/art/ompseats.jpgMy 952 has black MOMO seats and red MOMO 6-points. I found one seat on sale as a demo at a speedshop for $100 and finally found a matching one online for $200. They're comfortable and functional, and more and more real Ferraris (especially at the track) have them. http://www.kitcarlist.com/art/momoseats1.jpg http://www.kitcarlist.com/art/momoseats2.jpgYour car is so beautiful and as a convertible, the seats are really going get noticed. You might even want to get seats and/or belts that match the exterior color. It really looks sharp in the spiders I've seen! If you don't go with OEM seats, you might want to consider going this route - you won't regret it. |

Your interior still amazes me. It is the best most accurate out there. It's interesting to see all of it coming together piece by piece. Why don't you look forward to the fiberglass?

I think I can answer this one for Rob,
It is messy, you stick to absolutely everything in sight including yourself, stinks like crazy, makes your eyes water and if you do it in your garage you WILL hear it from your wife about how you just made the entire house smell like a toxic waste dump!
Other than that - it is a complete joy to work with!

It's a very nasty,dirty job. It should be a segment on the 'Dirty Jobs' tv show.
