Dark brown carpet.

door panels are light tan uppers, dark brown armrests, tan insert, dark brown carpet lowers.

rear quarters are two tone. light tan from the speaker shelf area and up, dark brown lower area sides.

headliner is dark brown, sunroof cover is dark brown, all sunvisors are light tan.

everything else will be dark brown--consoles, dash, pod, etc...

some of it is the original stuff, some of it is new. I've heard that somewhere else.....before.

Russ,
Was your interior done by the local guy you told me about ?? If so is it too personal to ask how much he charged to recover seats front and back? I sure want to see better pics when its all together. The color scheme is great. Do you have pics of the front seats?

[rhjames]

Yes Dean, everything with my interior work is done by Duke's upholstery in Porter.

What I've spent won't do you much good because other items were figured in. The seats were just recovered as the original OEM stitching/pattern was. However, he can do many other things like french seams, ostrich (he's doing a 50's lowrider Buick in ostrich now), custom patterns and such....



I can check with him about pricing when I get back from the west coast.....same with pics. I hate what the camera phone does to the light tan---makes it look pinkish.
