330GTC INTERIOR ?

Looking good. It's important to make sure they get that "indented pleat" exactly right at the front of the seats. This is the area that often isn't done correctly in many leather replacements. There are several flavors of that pleat in the pictures in this thread -- the placement of the pleat from @colombo2cam looks the most correct to my eye (hopefully others will chime in to confirm or correct).





The front pleat doesn't look very pronounced on your prior leather, so they might miss it if they are using the existing leather as a model.



Below is the pic from the 330 GTC concours guide (also shows that 9 pleats across the seats is correct)

the dark tan and black seats look like totally different seats. dark tan are 2+2 seats.

 

Absolutely right -- sorry, I was just looking at the positioning of that front pleat and nothing surrounding it as I scanned through the thread photos. I'd think the the 330 GTC concours guide photo is correct for the GTC, but the pleat location seems all over the map from just the photos in this thread. I don't have time to do it, but might be good to look at period magazine reviews or owners manual to confirm the correct location.

 

Thanks for sharing. Do you have more info on Bruce/Automotive Restoration in Clinton, NJ? No luck with Google.

GTC pleat and GT 2+2 pleat are originally in 2 different locations

 

I don’t think the Carper goes all the way to the Sil, mine has black vinyl.

We just recently did a repaint on a 330gtc to Verde Pino, The customer was a rather tall guy and wanted a seat that would recline more and give more bolster. I was able fabricate brackets to run 275GTB seats using the original seat tracks. It worked out rather lovely. A modification like this might be fun to break up the interior color?

all the best, Ryan

 

pix?

 

I unfortunately don’t have any photos of the brackets I fabricated, they were rather simple.

those upper corners look weird. not enough side bolster padding?

 

yep, looking good except the upper corners,,,,,,,

 

Don't forget to use the correct basket weave, black rubber, heel mats for whatever carpet you select.

Hi Everyone,
The metal foil on my chairs a 330 GTC is getting a little beat-up. What can I replace it with? Not sure where to go to buy some?
Thank you
