I think dave has made it pretty clear that the 818 will have a spartan interior in addition coming unpainted (with a gel-coat). I'm wondering what would be the steps to really make the interior presentable. I see a lot of posts of people that do paint prep and even paint themselves on other FFR builds, but not as much on the interior.
I did come across this thread of ron schefield who is doing a custom type 65 dash, and I must wonder of the process.
The 818 is a car I intend on showing off (car meets, nightclubs, PCH, Hollywood), and I think with enough work it could be a real VIP car.
