        Lachs! ;) that's the color code that was on the fender... I have never seen this color on person. Someone had painted this car before and it wasn't right. Can't wait to get it out of the booth on Monday and see what this color is going to look like

                you sure? If I remember correctly most of the paint on that car was pretty original looking

                  It was a little off. Saw it in the sun today I can't wait for it to be polished:) it is going to be amazing!!! What do you guys think about tweed and suede for the interior? Thinking about covering the dash in tweed too. What you think?

                      Either that or leather... Going to fill the recess in the dash where the cracks always are. I just want something different I will not do something if I think it is going to look horrible and don't turn this into the new girl on the forum thread haha

                        leather done right is out of this world. but getting someone to stretch it just right is gonna cost. id like to see a black suede dash.
