ROZA NERO Interior Conversion
Well I have been asked to document conversion of my interior from black to Cognac. The car is a 92 Black Rose w black interior. 2 of my Vettes, the 72 and 84, both had saddle interiors. I thought black rose would benefit and brighten from installing a similar interior. I thought more of the red would come through w the cognac interior. Looking for a classic color combo. Still need seats or covers and rear carpet, but I thought I'd start installing the "easier" pieces to start getting an idea of how it would actually look. So I have finished drivers side door panel, hush panel, and sill.
Here's a couple of shots: Compared to this: As =Jeff= would tell you, on any conversion there's always something. As much as things look like they haven't changed, we find small things that make the conversion process a PITA. Tolerances from year to year change. Having worked in at a GM assembly plant for 6 years, I can tell you "substitutions" happen all the time. Here's an example of the difference between 91 and 92 interior bits that wasn't very obvious until you start swapping parts. Door and interior night lights.
