Looks great, Tim! Did you install? How satisfied are you with the product?

Hi Tim,

It really looks great! What color is that? I am looking to use Airtex as well. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Scott

Hi Tim,

I received the samples yesterday.Flint is a great color, lighter than I expected. I will probably go with it as well.

Thanks, Scott

Thanks for posting Tim – I am also in need of some carpet and was looking at AirTex

I am getting ready to order the entire interior for my 79 Tiger. Plan to install at annual in December. I’ll let you know how it goes and post some pictures. Dodd at Airtex let me know that the carpet does come with snaps like the original. Lower Side pieces need to be glued.

Thanks for posting the carpet pic. Was wondering how dark it would look in the plane. Looks good.

I just ordered the entire interior for my 79 Tiger and expect it any day now. I went with the flint carpet and the slate leather. I will post before, during, after pictures.

@Richard did you get your interior ordered?

Scott,

Yes I did and the carpet and side panels arrived. The flint carpet and quartz material look good together. The premium fabric feels like it will hold up really well. Once the seats materials arrived will begin installation.

If anyone else is looking to update their interior and wants the set of samples I have from Airtex let me know and I will ship them out to you.

Hi All,

Just a quick update. Been delayed with all the bad weather here in the Midwest, and have not been able to get up to my AnP as quickly as I wanted. Today I finished Installing the foam and front seat covers. Not difficult, just take your time and it will come along fine. Have the rear seat seat backs done as well. When my AnP gets back from vacation, we will tackle the rear seat bench.

Big THANKS to Joseph Guegel who has posted a great discription of the process on his FaceBook page.

looking good. I also like the switch panel mods and circuit breakers.

Quick update. I got the seats completely done, floor and baggage carpeting in, and rear side panels/armrest done. Currently a two tone interior as the forward side panels will need to wait until after our move to Dublin, Ohio. One side note, I kept the plastic part of the runners that go below the rudder pedals. Plan to take them to an upholstery shop and have them sown to the AirTex carpet runners.

I’ll post some picks when I get a chance.

I spent the winter doing a bunch of stuff on my C-182 including a complete Airtex interior. It has been a lot of work, I am now just trying to fit everything back in the plane.
I have been looking at my AA-1B interior and thinking at some point I might do the same. The interior I have now came from Wag Aero who had bought much of the Gulfstream inventory when production shut down in 1978. I bought the burnt orange seats and side panels and installed them in the late 80’s. While they have held up well, they are looking faded and tired. This will be a simpler project then the C-182. Maybe next year I will tackle that. Glad to see your pictures and will look forward to updates on how the final product looks.

For anyone looking to redo the interior of the Grumman with AirTex, I would contact Joseph Guegel Jr. through Facebook or GG. He has a well documented set of pictures of the steps for doing the job. His photo album and input was a great resource for me as I was going through it. Also, Dodd Stretch (good last name for this business), was more than willing to answer the multitude of questions I had.
