Upholstery Needs

WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN UPHOLSTERY PARTNER

TO UPHOLSTER OUR '67 CORVETTE RESTOMOD

ccDoug & Glenda McMahan - macsvettes@gmail.com - 682-305-6649

We are several years into our '67 Corvette BBC Restomod build

This 1967 Convertible was purchased after being used as a dedicated drag racing Corvette for over 35 years

We separated the body from the frame on 5/6/2020 and have spent over six years of time, money & blood, sweat & even a few tears since

We have the engine & transmission, both are dyno'd - just need to paint & install them. We still need to have the custom wheels measured & manufactured.

Due to multiple life-issues, this project was unfortunately delayed by a year. Our new completion target date is mid-February 2027; for a large indoor Corvette Show in Galveston

We do have it painted - 100% House of Kolors, black, then blue w/metalumes, then blue/purple colorshift pearl, then white diamond and HOK Show Klear

Freshly sprayed - House of Kolors Show Klear

Custom Seat Humps - before any cut-n-buff

getting close - still needs a final cut-n-buff

we are in the assembly phase - readying it for Upholstery. This Restomod has more than 74 custom one-off parts along with numerous modified parts

CURRENT UPHOLSTERY PLANNING LIST - US & AREAS NEEDING PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE

INTERIOR STATUS

Needs include Custom Door Panels, Console Between Seats, Rear Compartment Console (behind the waterfall), Dash Pads, C6 Corvette Altered Seats, Engine-Compartment Actuator Covers w/boots need full upholstery.

We have chosen two-tone gray with with a special accent piece down the center of the seats, consoles & door panels.

To date, we have carpeted and upholstered many of the non-sewn type parts.

the seat top hasn't been modified in this photo

The console between the seats w/hinged lid

Armresets extend up into the dash pad edge

Seats are heated w/lumbar support

reworked the forward console edges after water damage in the shop

the aluminum edges are now stronger and will work better

a view from the top - the front console will need matched to the rear w/stiff foam

The factory foam needs sectioned or totally replaced

The factory foam also had pockets for side-air-bags that will not be utilized

The C6 Corvette Seat Tops have been lowered to not stick up so high in the Convertible. We would like the tops contoured more like the hump shape

Seat top (modified frame) with seat tilted, is almost matching the hump

The soft top will be installed on a NEW factory frame - brand new along with all new rubber
