New Al Knochs arrived!

[Corvette95]

Well, I am so impatient. Got the interior with new Al Knocks in this past weekend. No door panels or halo yet as it get painted this weekend but the interior turned out great IMHO. Here is a preview. I will debut the finished project in about a month hopefully....

Looks beautiful! I have a 94 and installed Al Knoch seats in 2012. I know the feeling of R&R.

I know there?s a paint shop near Lavergne murfreesboro area the guys at streetside classics use them so might give those guys a call about spraying the car.

Well the timeline certainly hasn't gone to plan but I am VERY close to posting the completed pictures of the 90. (also will post final solution to my other thread about hard start when cold- but haven't been able to drive car yet but 99.999999 percent sure it was found and fixed). My QUESTION for this thread is, the gap on the rear bumper to rear quarters are very tight, I am not going to loosen (nightmare to get get gaps perfect) I got some residual compound in the cracks, I did have them taped, looking for a good brush and products to remove left over compound in the cracks , mainly the rear bumper to quarter. Will a tooth brush scratch the clear? Google was no help....

The seats turned out great. For the compound in the cracks, CarPro Eraser (or isopropyl alcohol diluted 50/50 with water in a pinch) along with a horsehair toothbrush or a thin microfiber towel should do the trick. If you'd like, I'd be happy to mail you a towel to try for no charge.

Hi, the brush recommendations was what I was looking for. The horsehair won't scratch the paint? I used the 3m Trizact system and it turned out very well so I don't want to scratch. I have a bunch of microfiber towels, when you say thin micro fiber towel, didn't know there were thin versions, I can't find one that says thin on a google search. I ordered the CarPro and a horse hair exterior brush ( most I could find were either large or for interior only, I found ONE for exterior about the size of a toothbrush -it was $14.99 WOW for one brush) but it is ordered. Can you send me some info on where I can get the thin micro towel? You can PM me. Thanks again!

Not sure if Al Knoch makes their own seats but from what I understand CORVETTE AMERICA does make the covers onsite and sells to a lot of suppliers. I have a full set of bolster frames I want to take apart and shorten them by a few inches so they don't stick out so much but I want to find the bolster covers in a perfect match before I move forward with this. I got a color sample from CORVETTE AMERICA but it's not a dead on match so I'm still looking.

I have ordered from them before and can confirm Al Knoch make their own seats.

Not sure where this thread left the rails., but absolutely Al Knock makes their own product. Best Quality, getting an installer familiar with Corvette seats to make them really right is the hard part. I ended up sending my seats to Knock for them to install, wasn't cheap but EXACTLY OEM. BTW if your are a current NCRS member you get 10% off entire bill IF YOU ASK for it.
