Default Time for a little more braggin....
The 51 Chevy Bel Air will never be a show car, but it will be my fun cruiser (if I dont sell it first..). So I did a quick redo on the interior just to make it presentable and a little more comfortable. Far from perfect, but a whole lot better then when I got it.... Still need to replace the steering wheel...

Looks ok I guess. Seems like a mismatch of materials and textures.

Looking good Zeek.

Front seats look a little lost (small) in there.
What were they out of?

Damn, I was expecting some new carpet and maybe crude seat covers.
Looks a LOT better!

What were they out of?
The fronts are new aftermarket buckets. The rear seat is out of some later model Nissan. Hard to find original seats. I plan on adding a console to take up some of the space between them.
