Back in 1994 I replaced the vinyl seat covers with leather. I changed out the carpet with new.
I replaced the old seatbelts with 1999 Firebird (F-body rear) seatbelts.
that was a long time ago and lots of wear could be seen so time for new again.
This time I bought new seatbelts from seatbeltsplus.com

I had a local shop do the install of the seat covers, I didn’t trust myself.

One winter I took on recovering the seats in "The Toy". More than anything it was a bit time consuming as I'd never done anything like that before. But it really wasn't that difficult a job.
But to quote a fellow known for a lot of memorable movie lines - "A man's got to know his limitations."

Lloyd's mats are great. Have purchased sets from them for "The Toy", "The Beast" and "BLKBRRD". Very happy with all of them.
Lookin GOOD, Brian!! 😃

I too think that car looks outstanding.
And it looks like I did the same thing you did with my '73 L-48; have it appear like a calm stock Vette, but with the Heart of a Champion, only to be revealed with the turn of the ignition key. 😈
And like you, I had to have help from an upholstery shop in sewing up the seats. The Covers were too tight for me to close up. Not easy.
Happy motoring. 😉

Thanks
Driving is the only thing that matters but looking good makes it better
