    Cart way ahead of horse, to much work needs to be done to the car to even think of this but yet here I am.
    62 Skylark, white exterior, black wheels, black all chrome, big tires.
    The interior is rough. I need to make a dash and maybe door panels from aluminum. I will have a cage.
    What color interior would look good?
    The frame of the door that surrounds the door panels is steel. The more modern cars have vinyl from top to bottom.
    I envision, aluminum or stainless. But what else????????????????

    Platinum vinyl looks good with a white exterior.

    When I get to that point I will snap some pictures of the interior. As said before sheet metal dash, and maybe door.

    With white you are lucky. Every interior color was available with white.

    The seats will need reupholstered, carpet is trash, I can dye some of it. If I get it up and running I was thinking of the career center kids spraying it. I plan to do a lot of tin work i the doors and dash.
