SHOW ME: '60s Kustom INTERIORS!!!

And heres a shot of my seat frames I started making for some of those cool 60s bucket seats for my A Tudor

 

I LOVE 60's interiors, when working with sean on my 63 galaxie I picked out the clothin the seats, headliner, carpet. I left the design up to sean only giving him a small amount of ideas, like I want 60's proto type interior with kind of a goddytwist on fabric. sean has the vision to pull off anything, just talk with him long enough for him to read you and get the vibe of your style, it almost reminds me of a crystal ball reading gypse the way he gets in your head and figures out what you want. Even after talking with sean about style and design, I always come away wondering if he understood what I was trying to explain,but never fear, cause he nails it everytime! This is what makes Sean a true Craftsman and Artist. He gets it!!! Like Mcphail says It is scarry how 3 people car get together work on a car and totally understand each others design sense, what a wonderfull thing it is to work together like that. It makes a true TEAM !!! I am honored to have Dennis' as my boss on this project and sean as the interior artist. Soon I will be lucky enough to have 2 Fatlucky's ,South Austin Speedshop interiors. to get the best out of an artist it too leave him alone and let him do his thing, after relaying a few idea's and let it flow into whatever transpires . jeff

Wow. I thought I was building my '56 with a '60s flavor (including the interior), but there is not a single interior in this thread that I would want in my car. Guess I should say that I'm gonna do a NEARLY STOCK '60s interior.

yes, pearl white. tougher than $hit to keep clean man!!!! but i wouldn't change a thing

 

Here's my interior, not too fancy, white with suede dash and some zodiac gold flake. Still needs a headliner.

 

Wow! That was great. Thanks everybody (especially KiwiKev). I can't wait until my car is done (see pic). -Mike

 

I love Zodiac flake! My I love ALL of these interiors! Man...its the '60s all over again!

 

Keep 'em coming. There are some great ideas here.

 

This a friends 63 Riviera, he does all of his own work. Very talented upholster'er Gary

 

Just a bit of trivia: the 60 Ford is the widest production car ever.

 

Yeah, it's like one or two inches over legal - even at the time.

 

Kirk, ya got the needle and thread going yet for the interior? I see ya got more then enough friggin ideas by now. All them years in the fashion world should pay off for ya now!!!!!!!!!!! KNUX!

 

You decided against those sweet Fiero bucket seats?
They were really nice velour, dude...

 

that's NICE!

 

Here's a few for you. The front seats are out of a 64 Galaxie. The rear seat is a custom made wrap around.......

 

This is my 60 impala
