hmm the turquoise is kind of growing on me... i looked at it again and asked some random people and they didn't mind it...

I think i need to two tone it with dark green on top of the dash (like it should be) and two tone the seats.

Location: Finland		Several times after I have painted a car I feel sick about the color but after a time in the sun it can calm down....I think the turqoise might be one of these colors.
And that interior color stands out for sure...that`s good isn`t it?

Location: Blythewood, SC		It is not my car, and the work you have done has been great. But the turquoise on the interior never seemed right to me. I'm not throwing stones because the car is beautiful.

basically eliminating the turqoise(only lower dash)... using the dark green... replaced the power steering gear... that was a pita

Got to put the new leaf springs also... Took a load to the chromer, Antenna bases, front headlight drivers side , front upper bumper bar(long one), and two rear fender teeth.. he said 500-600$ for that.

started the trim color change... I am almost thinking you could chrome the interior trim with chrome wrap and it would look pretty darn good.

the roof is not a full blown turquiouse but a greener turquise color so I want to keep that as the turquoise is the off color to the green/blue accent. I will cover the seats in dark green leather next winter i guess.  I will run the black this year.

New power steering rack is working (it's the big Chrysler one... working good so far.) I have the top of the dash color changed and I will do the package tray today... Off to BMV soon to get the title changed over to me. I still have a little bit of "turquoise" on the bottom of dash(ack), I may finish the killing of it... later though. Starts right up and this thing moves... Going to work on putting windows in it today.

 

need to get some emblems/trimon this asap... its naked..    Waiting 3 months on the some chrome parts to get done...  jesus
