It took a long time to get to the interior. Finally, in May of 2004, my Dad and I flew to the Velocity factory to have Jeff Driscoll take care of it. He does many of the planes built in the factory service center and has extensive experience in hte Velocity form factor. When you think about all the nooks and crannies in the cabin, this sure helps. He worked with us to pick a color scheme and design. We chose from a large selection of materials at his nearby shop. He is more than willing to accomadate special requests in terms of design, logos, etc. After all, this is a true custom job. I went with a subdued interior to complement the leather seats. The carpeting was royal blue and might look a little bright in these photos, but it definitely lightens up the interior and doesn't seem overly bright when you look into the interior which is seen by light passing through tinted windows. Jeff's work is fast and very well done. Ahhhh! Love that new car smell!

Rear of cabin.	Moulding covered with vinyl.	Bottom part of rear bulkhead.	Reverse side of bottom half of rear bulkhead. Note tabs which slide behind the edge of the "whale tail" of the midline keel and help hold everything in place.
Front surface of the top half of the rear bulkhead. It is shaped to tuck in the back, giving room for the roof NACA's and not obstruct the windows.	Rear of top half of bulkhead. Velcro patches hold the plate snug against tabs mounted on the roof and the corresponding tabs on the lower bulkhead.	Lower bulkhead in place.	Note tabs at top of bulkhead which mate with the velco of the top hap half's tabs.
Bulkhead in place. The carpeted area forms a nice shelf to place bags. The netting is also useful to hold loose stuf.	Tab at top center allows easy removal from of the top half of bulkhead.	Back seats in place. The headliner and vinyl is matched nicely with the leather of the seats.
	Lower bulkhead resting on the "whale tail"	Side wall of cabin.	Baggage strake covered with soft headliner material. Note the pleating to break up the area's look. A soft cushion at bottom makes for a nice arm rest for the rear passenger.
