Seats
Try as I might I couldn't get the GTO seats to fit properly in the firebird. They were too wide and too tall. So I had to figure another route. Through some research I found some BMW M3 convertible seats. Took some measurements and I felt I could make them work. Here are some comparison shots
The seats are very comfortable and the have an intergrated shoulder belt for added safety
The door panels were another story. There was a lot of head scratching and I decided to try this method.
I cut the armrest off the GTO door and attached it to the firebird panel with rivets.
I then added florist styrofoam to the armrest and sanded to the shape I was looking for. I then added a layer of fiberglass and bondo to finish smooth. Turned it over to the upholstery guy and he did his stuff.
Interior completed
