    Reproduction Headliner Kit

    A sagging or ripped headliner is a quick way to make your interior feel neglected. Replacing it with a fresh, taut headliner makes the cabin feel so much cleaner and brighter, restoring that factory-fresh appearance.

    Grant Classic Series Steering Wheel

    While some prefer OEM reproductions, a quality aftermarket steering wheel from the Grant Classic Series can add a touch of custom flair while still feeling appropriate for a muscle car. They offer great grip and style.

    Instrument Services Inc. Gauge Restoration

    Don't just replace the whole cluster! Often, sending your original gauges and bezels to a specialist like Instrument Services Inc. for restoration can bring them back to factory fresh condition, preserving originality.

    Reproduction Center Console Assembly

    For cars equipped with a console, these often get chipped, broken, or faded. A new reproduction assembly brings back that factory-fresh look and functionality, often available from major suppliers like Classic Industries or YearOne.

    American Autowire Classic Update Series Wiring Harness

    Safety first! Over time, original wiring can become brittle and unreliable. A complete replacement harness from American Autowire updates your electrical system to modern standards while maintaining original connections.

    Reproduction Shifter Handle and Boot

    The shifter gets a lot of use, and a worn or incorrect handle and boot stick out like a sore thumb. Finding an accurate reproduction for your specific model makes a huge difference in the cockpit's appearance.

    Reproduction Kick Panels

    These lower panels often take a beating from feet, getting scuffed or even cracked. Replacing them with fresh, unblemished kick panels is a small detail that contributes significantly to a polished interior.

    Dynamat Xtreme Sound Deadening Material

    While not strictly a visual restoration part, applying Dynamat Xtreme under your new carpet and behind door panels massively reduces road noise and vibrations, making for a much more enjoyable cruising experience.

    Reproduction Sun Visors

    Faded, torn, or sagging sun visors are another small but noticeable detail that can detract from a pristine interior. New visors complete the restored look and function perfectly.

    Classic Industries Pedal Pad Set

    Worn out rubber pedal pads make your interior look tired and can even be a safety concern. A fresh set from a supplier like Classic Industries is an easy and inexpensive upgrade that really cleans up the footwell.
