We made everything in this interior,Dash ,doors,seats,headliner and installed stereo.Everything is covered in leather.Dash was made out of aluminum and fiberglass

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Just learned how to post pics,Still working on sizing there a little big right now:lol:

[Sunkistcamaro]

WOW, Top notch work.

This is what we started with,Or this is how it came to me and customer said make me a interior that looks a little modern factory and custom at the same time

WOW Tracy!! That is some of the best custom interior work I have seen. Im off to see more pics. Thanks for sharing. Wish you were closer. You would have another job coming your way.

Id love to be able to scroll through your photobucket album to look at all the build pics??? Prolly asking too much huh.

Ok, so Ill pick your brain here. The dash, seats and door panels are all items I can get my head around. I wont be doing the work but I still have to give a lot of input for my desired look to the local shops. And to do that I need to know how some items are accomplished to relay to the interior shop what Id like to see. If its even doable.

The areas that baffle me are prolly the simplest for you. But the seams are what I cant figure out. The seams from the various interior sections. Like the transition from the roof headliner to the door frame. How is that handled. Or the A pillar covering. And the carpet to door sill. Any areas of the interior that meet the metal of the car body. Did you make them also or find stock items and recover them? On my car the welded seams were covered by some ugly windlace. Not what I want. I want a seamless look, a more modern look.

The reason I ask is because my car is bare right now. Not a stitch of cloth and no trim pieces to speak of. So its gonna be alot of fabricated panels or grafting pieces from other cars and recovering them. Yes, in leather.

Last lil Q? Not that you can give the cost of the job, or if you can even better. But if you can narrow it down to within 3000 bucks. 15g, 20g, 25g? More? Im just trying to get a better understanding of what very high quality work costs and what I might look to spend for something similar while also trimming the budget realizing I cant have it all. . I have a dash and seats but thats about all. No trim, headliner, carpet, kick panels ,door panels or center console. And it will be a two seater. Rear section just carpeted with side panels (62 Nova without rear seats). My budget for the interior is 10g max. I have to budget that much for paint too.

So I have 20g set aside for the inside and outside. And I have been shopping. But too many times I have to describe exactly what I want. And thats a good thing I think, no surprises. But to describe what I want requires me to know a lil about what can be done. And at this point I dont have a clue. So Im scavenging for ideas. Id love to see some build pics.. You guys do great work. JR

Hopefully someday I can afford something that nice.

First,we get cars from all over the country.You need to find an Interior shop that can think of and fabricate there own parts to fit your car,Tell them what your wanting and see if they can do it. You have to modify factory parts sometimes to get the area covered.There is not an easy way to explain how to finish the areas that your talking about it just takes someone with vision to see it finished then be able to make it.Use a shop that works on street rods because none of those cars come with any kind of interior parts,You have to make them.So they know what it takes.Remember anything can be done.. We charge by the hour plus materials.You should be able to get some work done for the money you want to spend.

I agree. Tracy, you do some stellar work :hail:

That is a little more than the average guy wants,This customer wanted to make sure that his 2nd gen(70 camaro) would not be lacking in the interior.He told me to make sure it was very,very nice.
Thanks guys for the nice words.Keep in mind not every car we do has to go this far,I will post some pics of are normal jobs.

[RECOVERY ROOM]

:lol: :lol: Show Off :D

[slamdimpala]

Tracy you do some killer work. I was just wondering if you guys just do full interiors or do you take on small jobs also? By small i mean maybe just a headliner and recover some seats. I would love to have you do my interior.

[SWAPMEETCRAZY]

Now I have a reason to move to Nebraska!!!!! beautiful work Tracy!! :D

[Ketzer]

Incredible craftsmanship!

Seems like a lot of hinting at and open ended comments about what it costs to have a pro level interior done. Obviously, every job is different. Some hardly noticed details could probably double the man hours... but what kind of man hours does it take to do a "from nothing" pro interior?
I don't think the average gear head has any idea the time (and serious talent) it takes to produce whats in these pictures.

[96z28ss]

A pro interior can cost upwards of $30k Its time and materials. and depends on how trick it gets.

Jeff-

I think the "average" gearhead does know, somewhat. Rather it be someone who has built cars to a more or lesser extent or someone who just looks at TV shows and has been to local/national car shows. Now the non-average gearhead doesn't. Let me tell a little story that's not related to interior, but in relationship to how a non-average gearhead thinks. (short story) I was at a gas station about 3 years ago in my Chevelle and a guy rides up and offers me $6k for it. Mind you, I had Baer brakes all the way around, done a frame-off resto, a taken-to-bare metal paint job, custom stereo and interior (not Recovery Room quality though), Ididit column, Hotchkis suspension, etc. I then laughed at him and I think it kind of pissed him off though because I think he took it as I thought I was better than him. But, to me, $6k was an insult. That, to me in a nutshell, is an example of a non-average gearhead. Now, many of us, would have known way better than to offer a guy so little for a car that looks like that. Now, I'm not proposing that my car is worth $50k either, but come on fellers. You feel me right?:rofl: :rofl:

[6spdcamaro]

a guy rides up and offers me $6k for it.

:_paranoid Your wheels are probably worth that much :lol:

[ProTouring442]

a guy rides up and offers me $6k for it.

My dad had a guy do something similar once concerning his '56 BelAir convertible. His reply was "how do you intend to finance the rest?

Shiny Side Up!
Bill

[JKnight]

It happens to me all the time. Well, that and being told that their buddy's Honda is probably way faster. Might be, but it's still a Honda....

Biggest mistake my dad ever made was getting an original copy of the window sticker for his 69 GTO Judge. At every show he went to he had guys offering him $3,795.23. Hyuck Hyuck Hyuck.

This is why I hate stationary car shows...

[RECOVERY ROOM]

A pro interior can cost upwards of $30k Its time and materials. and depends on how trick it gets.

I work on a time and material basis,My shop rate is 55.00 hour per person.We use above average materials because they work and look good.Most of are complete interiors can run between 13k to 20k,And yes it depends on the materials and the amount of work that an owner wants us to do.If we install and buy the stereo this adds to the price,Dynamat adds to the price,Making a dash will add alot to the price.The orange Chevelle needed a Dash,Seats,Custom made back seat,billet parts,Stereo,and a cloth top.If you look at it this way, If we were only 15% to 20% of the total build cost.Not a bad return on your money for the amount of area or work done to the car.Every once in awhile it gets expensive depending on the amount of work and parts we have to get.I have never had one go to 30k,Even on the Rad Rides cars we have worked on.I have done cars that were around 25k several times.Bottom line is that the more you want the more time it takes to make it work and fit the car.

Great information Tracy. The other thing to put it in perspective is just open a Year One Catalog. Start with an empty shell 69 Camaro and price a Repop interior from that catalog. I think most folks would be surprised. And that is nothing custom, just order and install.

Your work is great and very resonably priced. The owner of the company I work for has had a couple cars built and has had interiors run over 30k. Interiors were Done by Jim Griffin. He just might be on a higher shop rate and works slower.

[syborg tt]

We do small jobs all the time for people,Work is work:D

LOL - as some of you know Tracy did the interior on my truck and we couldn't be happier. He took a great project and stepped it up even higher. I hope to start posting pics tommorow of the completed interior.

As for budgets he came in at exactly what he said and he was great to work with. Did i mention he takes better pics then Kenny.

Thanks for posting this Tracy! This is the one I was waiting to see. The interior turned out great! I will be in touch so we can continue to go over the ideas we talked about.:cheers:


EDIT: Do you have a direct shot of the dash/cluster set up? I'd like to see how that was layed out too. And any of the back seat area? Sail panel areas? Anything you have on this car I would love to see. Thanks again for posting all of your work. Outstanding!

[Nick.V70]

Some very aspiring top notch work.:thumbsup: I am for sure not to this level for my personal car build but I have to tell you I love to see how far someone can go when given the opportunity. Great looking work :cheers: .

[RodDawg]

Great work Tracy. Brad is finishing my fab and paint work, so hopefully we can talk soon about my interior plans (keeping my fingers crossed that we can get together).

BTW - Do you have a link to that photobucket page, or somewhere else to see more of your work? I'd like to see more than what is on your site and hubgarage.

[RECOVERY ROOM]

photobucket is just for me,Have some family pics in there also.Brad said the car is turning out nice last time I talked to him:thumbsup:

Very nice work on the interior on the 2nd gen. Those door panels are absolutely SICK!!!!
I'd love to have something like that for my 2nd gen.

Not a fan of the rims tucked in so far in the rear.....but to each his own. :)

Now, I'm not proposing that my car is worth $50k either, but come on fellers. You feel me right?:rofl: :rofl:

I feel ya. I feel ya.

Obviously the guy had no clue about what Muscle Cars in general are worth.
Not to mention a Chevelle done up pretty nicely. I'd have taken it as an insult
too, but in reality it's just ignorance like ya said.

Still haven't gotten that rear end in yet.....lol

Any more pics of this? Since you guys use such beautiful leather what do you use for conditioner and cleaner? What do you think of Lexol?

[RECOVERY ROOM]

I use good leather so we don't have to keep putting anything on it,Never use anything with SILICONE in it,That will clog the pores up and cause the cracking problems.I have looked at cars we have done years ago that still look good with out a whole lot of maintenance done to them.As the years go by it wouldn't hurt to treat the leather.NO SILICONE products.As far as Lexol..never used it,Couldn't tell you anything about it

[ironworks]

That stuff is all nice and pretty. But what can you do with a Mexican blanket? Have you ever made a Poncho that matches the seat for the driver?

Looks great Tracy. That 32 interior is awesome.

I gues a better question would be what do you recommend for cleaning and treating leather?

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Let me see what I can do for a good answer that is available to the general public,We have some products that our suppliers give us,I don't think they sell retail but I will check.I don't want to give advice then find out you can't get it easy.

[RECOVERY ROOM]

your probably the most talented interior guy ive seen. hats off

That depends on who you ask..lol Thank you very much for that.I try to put interiors in cars to match the car it is going in.Street Rods get different guts than the cars you guys are building(muscle cars) and so on.If everything was the same it would get boring quick.Watch for some post on Mark Lengal's Camaro coming up soon PROJECT ENVY It's going to be a nice one also.Thanks again for the complement

[RECOVERY ROOM]

I gues a better question would be what do you recommend for cleaning and treating leather?

I checked on the Lexol product and bought some to try,It seems to work fine and doesn't leave it greasy,After an Interior is done with good leather you should not have to worry about treating it for sometime.

Thanks for checking it out . I 've been using it for a few years now and wanted to make sure I was treating it as well as I could. I can't believe you went out and bought some. THANKS:cheers:

[RECOVERY ROOM]

I can't comment on something I'm not sure about, Just thought I would check it out. I learn from you guys also. I wouldn't use it on a fresh interior right away tho.

Beautiful work. I've always admired your designs and looked at it as inspiration to my own personal ideas. Knowing now that you do small jobs for the Average Jack out there...

I have a vision. I'd like to kick it around with you when you have time and see what you think.

[bigtyme1]

The best thing about Tracey is he can almost read my mind when were talking about my car. It not all what he wants but what fits the car, and every car is different to a personal touch.

Beautiful! j/k



no...wait...they really are beautiful.:thumbsup:

[RECOVERY ROOM]

They are a universal frame and foam setup that we buy and cut and shape to what we want, There is no name or style. I use them all the time. They are great to use because they come uncovered and we have to glue them up. When they are mounted in a Camaro they look close to the same height as the originals but they recline.You can add as much support as you want.They were mounted in Kenny Davis build

Wow! Really nice work. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Completely off topic, do you know the diameter of the rims of the 'vettes that you have on your website?

Thanks!

[RECOVERY ROOM]

19's And 20's

[out2kayak]

19's And 20's

Thanks. Several folks I know say 17 or 18" is the max dia rim on an early 'vette and have it look OK. I disagree (as long as they don't look like wagon wheels) and a prime example are the ones on your site, which look bad a**!

Thanks again!

:cheers:

[1970judge]

You do custom interiors I take it? I will bookmark youin my favorites!

Just a random question, lets say I had a rolling shell and kind of drew up what I wanted interior wise, but did not have any pre-exisiting dash/console/panels for you to start with, that can be done no?

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Yes, That is what we do. WE can build everything on the inside of a car, Take a look at the first page on thread and it shows a gray interior in a 2nd gen, We made everything:thumbsup:

I saw that 55 at Columbus. loved everything about it

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Thanks Mike, Wasn't sure about the white on the inside, But thats what the customer wanted. Worked with the car and looked like it belong. It's a bitch to keep clean!

[billetman]

Thanks Mike, Wasn't sure about the white on the inside, But thats what the customer wanted. Worked with the car and looked like it belong. It's a bitch to keep clean!

Nice job Tracy. The one characteristic about white is it really brightens up the interior. But yeah its a real bugger to keep clean.

[soundqdoug]

Do you fab up your arm rests?

[CreepinDeth]

Damn I'm NOT a fan of white at all, but that is HOT!!!!!
I'd be afraid to even touch it!! LOL That's really nice.

Just out of curiousity , what seats are those in that white interior ??
Almost every custom interior I've seen uses that exact same seat.
Not the design of the material, the shape of the seat and bolsters I'm talking about.

[rjp71]

Where is the console from or did you build it yourself?

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Yes we built the armrest, The seats are a foam and frame pack that we get uncovered and cover to our taste kind of a blank universal, The console was in car when we got it and we just trimmed it up and covered it(I'm thinking it was out of a Grand Am)

[soundqdoug]

I've been trying to master the 2 part foam this week. It's so weird...I wish the USAF would've had a tech school for interior fab...

tracy or mark, what are the 5 rocker switches for? i assume windows and doors but the 5 threw me off. are those the watsons street works? what switches did you guys use for lights and wipers? i really like the layout. you might see that again in a few years.

i just read marks thread and didnt see it posted anywhere.

thanks

has anyone ever used one switch for two windows on one side of the car? i figure i can do it with isis, just wondering if i could do it without.

[rjp71]

The interior looks terrific- very hi-end! Its as nice as anything in a high end late model car.

Thanks for that, I charge by time and materials 55.00 hour on fab and 60.00 sew time. Every job is different, Every car is different. Mark wanted a interior that was classy and modern with function built in, There is a lot of stuff you can't see that was done. As soon as I can get a free evening I will post up pics showing all the details that go in to a job like this. Most of my Interiors are 13k to 20k on average. Choice of materials is a big factor, High end leather is not cheap. Interiors are a big part of the looks of a car when it is done.... Thanks again for looking at the work.

[rjsjea]

Thanks for taking the time to post some pics........:yes:

Tracy, i'm suspicious that you have been using the new "Nice Interior Spray" that Rodger has developed on many of these cars. We'll know somethings up if we see you at SEMA and you are three inches taller with dark wavy hair from his "Tall, Dark and Handsome" spray.

[RECOVERY ROOM]

I'm going to start another thread with some tips and answers to help out some of the home builders. I will go thru and look at some of the basic stuff to do help get your car ready for upholstery. (remember that it takes me awhile to post pics)

[GregWeld]

Tracy --

Do you ever do the wire mesh and then cover with polyester fabric and then resin that? I've seen this done for speaker enclosures etc and it seems pretty efficient.


The console in my Nomad is a combo of MDF - a little steel and some glass and some bondo...


http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad33/gregweld/Nomad%20build/console004.jpg


And all done! The face plate of the stereo comes off - and when that is removed - it allows the fiberglass cover to come off and gives me a hidden compartment for "stuff". Once this was finished -- I removed the stereo in the dash and replaced the '55 chevy trim with one that has no cutouts... This was shot still in the mock up stage.

Hey Tracy,

Where do you get your switches and push buttons etc from? I want to install new switches in my mustang but go with something different to the standard boring toggle switches out there. Something like the Ford GT toggles would be awesome. There's not many good ones that I can find.

Cheers,
Joe.

[The WidowMaker]

it seems most guys source them from watson street works. ive read pretty good reviews so far. kind of expensive, but they are full billet. the electric lifes had a plastic bezel around the aluminum switch.

We use Electric Life switches in our custom backing plates shown on our online catalog. If our backing plate doesn't suit your build style,we can design one that does. Our web address is www.jbmicrofinish.com

Thank you.

If you don't mind my asking. Where did you source the switches in the center console from ? That interior is simply ridiculous by the way. The dark grey and brushed aluminum look perfect together.

Never worry about asking questions I will help as much as i can. It is a Dark green..Mystic is the name.... Thanks Mark for posting the link, He beat Greg to it. They both know I'm not the best at posting links. Your pretty damn good yourself at fiberglass work !!! I like those switches alot,There small,They work good,and you can get them engraved with alot of logo's. Jared at Rad Rides has a line of switches coming out soon that I have seen that are going to be the sh*t.

Hey G.W. you putting spam on here...LOL

any time frame? im looking in the next month or so. i had planned on the watson street works stuff.

[rjsjea]

How many hours to build a center console like that (not including wiring all those switches)? Is it MDF, glass or metal? Where do you source the hinges for the storage compartment?

I want a center console built, just not sure on what material (MDF,fiberglass or metal) to start with.

Contact Bowler Transmission talk to Mark, There going to be a main distributer, They have been working with Jarod on them. As soon as they go to full production I will be using and selling them also

It was made out of fiberglass after using pour foam, Then aluminum is used to give it a internal structure. You could do something similar with MDF and coat it with resin to seal it up. We keep time on the whole interior on a day to day basis.

Mark only beat me to it (posting a link) 'cause I'm on the road... Still in Scottsdale after BJ auction and then headed to LA for Grand National Roadster Show... then to Ironworks to chop down a giant... then to Charleys to see if he'll let me sit in all of his stuff... then maybe try to buy Jody dinner... then... oh who knows?


EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA



Tracy -- Can't remember the spam thing.... something that I might have reported as a spammer to Scott... and mentioned in the thread. So no reason to have the 'mention' after Scott fixedededededed it.

Tracy,

I was up at the Tri-City Street Rods show last weekend in Grand Island and got to see the finished product up close. You did a fantastic job! I'm always impressed by the placement and integration of all the switches, dials, etc.

Keep up the good work.

Don't give him any kudos! It goes right to his head... next thing you know

Dang newbs... anyhow.

Tracy,

I can't get over how awesome and awe-inspiring your (and the rest of your shop's) work is! I love this thread - each build gives me new ideas for my 67 Fastback. Have you ever done any ipad installs? I'm going to run the isis wiring system along with their new inmobile feature - I should be able to eliminate the power window switches, door locks, headlight switches.. I'm not sure how to make the ipad removeable but also have an oem look...

[RECOVERY ROOM]

We have a car coming up that wants me to figure out a way to have it installed and be able to hide it when he wants. I just got a IPAD and love it. I will post pics of that trick as soon as I figure it out :lol:

[Sieg]

Recess with bottom locating tray tension clips left and right and finger relief pull out at the top?

I'll assume neodymium magnets are out of the question due to drive/electrical interference?

[syborg tt]

I just got a IPAD and love it.

odd my wife has one and love's it as a reader.

I used it for the first time over the weekend and the video quality on youtube sucked. I think my first computer had better video quality and that was 20 years ago.

[Cris@JCG]

Just went thru this whole thread Tracy... Speechless.. Your interior work is :thumbsup:

[scherp69]

Tracey...:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: Not much else to be said. For those of us that are attempting to build our own consoles, do you have any pics of the process you go through to make one. I'm planning on starting one next week out of metal.

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Build it out of whatever materials that works best for you, Get a game plan and stick to it

[nvr2fst]
