That's what I love to hear man, people figuring things out on their own and just doing it!
Looks freaking great.
I'm a mechanical engineer in my day job, I develop lab test equipment, but I do love cars, and fabricating everything myself for my build.
I've never done much with interiors before through. Well, I put in a headliner on my VW Type3, and of course welded seat brackets in other cars and that sort of stuff, but never covered seats or a dash.
That's a great idea of just make the pattern yourself, and have someone stitch it. I wonder, maybe I can make the pattern, and send it to my mom, and have her sew it up, she knows how to sew.

I made the door panels from scratch using 3/32" plywood. Patterns were from my existing door panels. Hardware from Rennline and TMI.
Moved the radio myself. Delete panel from Rennline. Bought the blank and cut my own holes.
Carpets are Daytona weave. I bought a roll and made my own patterns from existing carpets. Hired a guy to bind them where needed. I furnished the binding.
Seats are from Classic Touring Seats. I bought the cheapest fabric covered model I wanted. Stripped the seats and made patterns.
Back side panels I had recovered. I furnished the material.

I don't do this for a living. I just love cars and have done it before. The 911 is a simple interior. Get a game plan together. Establish a budget.
I have a lot of time in this build. A lot. Total cost with front seats and parts purchased from Rennline (pedals,tack mats, door goodies)....$7,900.00.
That includes the dash back date.
