I agree, love the car overall but the interior reminds of the inside of a coffin :shock: And the snakeskin i could do without - this is my personal opinion and not at all any kind of detraction from the amazing job you have done, my hats of to ya.

Ditto from me, looks like a hearse from inside,don't like it, but then again,it ain't my car either.

Apart from above, everything else looks bloody good to me. 8) 8) 8)

Cheers guys, I always knew it would be a love/hate thing for most people... I wanted it to be over the top.. The inside of a coffin was actually mentioned in the design brief for the headlining...
Yeah, I didnt think the bolt would bother me but im starting to stare at it more and more.......... :?

Each to their own opinion. The car is a custom so indivdual tastes are always going to vary.

As a custom it looks fantastic. Great work and attention to detail everywhere. From both the inside and the outside this car is going to stop people in their tracks (which is the obviously what you want to do with a custom job).

Wow, that interior looks like it would have been a difficult job, I'd love to find out how that roof lining was done.

thats it, with a custom some people will nearly chuck and other people stand and drool for a hour but its more fun than having a car everyone wlks past, the car is built to suit the individual, you do the car the way you want it and you will be happy, do the car how everyone else wants itand you have a car that suits everyone else, i dont mind the hoodlinning, i like custom hoodlinnings, i think its something often overlooked, early holdens had some pretty cool paterns in the vinyl so you have to do something other than the usual grey velour or XD falcon vynil to make the change worthwhile, i like the switch console too, starting the car will feel like you are about to take flight in a jet plane.
do you have the switches wired yet, is the a wire loom already in the A pillar, if the screen is already in it could be hard to wire the switches, are you doing the wiring?
