Looks great.

I've been looking for opinions of Legendary's Chevelle interiors.

Nice looking, but I wish someone would step up and make 100% correct door panels (besides SMS). You can see that the vertical ribs on these are formed from foam, as opposed to rigid, beveled cardboard that the originals used.

Great install nevertheless, Dan

Looks great despite the foam ribbing in the door panels. Do they also offer the pearl windlace?

Ok they look great however take a look at my NOS chevelle seat inserts that were made for GM production of the 70 chevelle.They are different look at the diamond pattern and the Pleats.The seats were made for me and the GM insets were sewn in.

Is it possible to strip off the old vinyl with out screwing up the beveled base?

Rainer,
We actually make our door panels with filler-board like they used on the originals. However, our vinyl is a thicker material which tends to make our pleats puffier than the originals. You can be confident in the fact that our door panels are the closest to the originals that you will see and they come with our Limited Lifetime Warranty for as long as you own your car. It is great to come on this site and see so many enthusiasts discussing Legendary Auto Interiors (good or bad). We appreciate and value what everyone has to say so we can get an idea of how we are doing and improve where we need to such as the leadtime discussion from this thread. Thanks everyone!!
