Looking for inspiration for my 54 interior, would like to stick with black and mostly white. Can I see what some of you guys are running for interior? JP
White seats look cool! It looks pretty cool to have black carpets with white seats. It makes the white seats look even whiter. You can put white vinyl borders on the edges of the black carpets and black "piping" around the edges of the seats too if you want more contrast. If you cover white vinyl over door panels, make sure you use a clear colored adhesive. I made the mistake of using some pinkish colored spray to glue the vinyl to the foam padding on the door panels on one car, and the pinkish color bled through into the white vinyl a little bit about a year later. Any relation to Ilene Dover?
Thanks for the tip Rusty! And to answer you question, no - I am not realated to Ilene Dover - I'm the cousin of Jack Dover - who's brother is married to the Balssonya family, Harry Ballsonya that is... His daughter in law is married to the fitzwell family, Dick Fitzwell is her husband... His uncle is a writer and wrote the book titled "Sliding down the flagpole", by Dick Burns... Nice lookin seat TOOL!
