Doesn't that make it an extensive job vs updating the gauges and screens. and keeping the classic looks of the late 60's early 70's. For a radical show car what you do is great but it takes something from the personality if the original car... Something I am sure is kewl but that I doubt i WOULD LIKE. Why not just put a full fiberglass and carbon fiber tub on it ?
Remember the customer has to want the inside to no longer remind them of a classic muscle car he either bought or has owned for a period of time. The red interior did just that.
Racaro does make the best seats IMHO but they are pricey. I have no use for heated seats for a car that I only drive during fair weather

We cut out the factory dash and replace it with a 2-piece fiberglass dash, and scoot it back several inches as well. This allows us as much room as needed to fit modern electronics behind the dash, as well as extend the cabin so it looks more modern.
In doing so, we have to redesign the door panels as well.
But the end result is a car with plenty of seat support, extra leg room, he can now fully sit back in his seat and shift comfortably from his heated/cooled leather seats. Everything is easy to reach. We also try our best to make sure nothing hangs below the rockers so the customer doesn't have to worry about scrapping.
There's a lot of really cool custom cars out there. And a lot of them are simply a pain in the ass to own and drive.
