    Picked up an older " from what I can tell" total performance bodied 23 t-bucket , got it all up and running & tracking good , getting ready to tear into the paint work and interior , I'm seeing a few complete Interior kits out there from different companys , seeing total performance is no longer in business , does anyone have any recommendations , before I gut it and call my apolstry shop , curious if speedways kit is close dimensions ? Or if anyone out there has dropped one in before , current Interior looks to be a home job out of the 80's, one piece wrap around padding attached to the typical wooden blocks , and pull up bench seat , thanks !

    I'd be curious on the different kits myself. Had bought a glass bucket body several years ago for a Gas Rail project that derailed. Was just looking at all my various bits laying around and realized I have enough for an early style bucket. Would be nice if I could find a drop in kit to keep costs down (in theory).

    Nice ! That's what I was thinking , save some cost on having it fabbed and stitched, more importantly time , body and paint are prob going to consume a good portion of winter and with our "short summers" up here , looking to spend more time ripping down road instead of ripping vinyl .

    CCR has some "literal" drop in kits , was going to compare their body dimensions to mine but I don't think it will work with the current wood/glass sub structure that's already in place , I like the way it's set up so I'm going to try and retain as much as I can !

    I might suggest that you give Speedway a call. I know that they, years ago, bought Total Performance out. Some of what they offer today is from Total, so they just might have what you need, just not listed in thier sale lit.
