Projects 1951 Chevy Chopped, What you think?

Thanks for all the advise regarding the tilt steering column and the seat for my chopped 51. I just laid the paint. Jet Black with California Gold on the dash...What color Interior?

 

Black tuck and roll with gold piping would look clean imo.

x3, the white with gold piping for sure. Would really offset the black nice and make everythink pop. Looks great by the way, post some more pics of that thing!

 

I was thinking white, but man is it hard to keep clean!

 

I've seen alot of guys with White seats that are now egshel looking because of the sun and or dirty asses. I went with solid black tuck and roll and I'm very happy I did. The hold piping might be a lil odd now that I think about it.

 

cream (or an off white) w/gold piping. still hard to keep clean but would look great IMO

 

I will post more pics when I get her un-taped..

 

I like the pearl interior in my 53 MERC.

nice twochops...that looks cool!

 

I'm thinking Cream with panels to match the dash

 

What steering colum did you use? I have a 50 chevy and am looking for options..

 

Hey TJratz,
I'm cutting the stock and dropping it. Not sure of amount yet. Got to cut down the seat first. I was gonna use a Chevy Van tilt. I found a guy that can delete the column shift and they look really good. I still have that option as well.

 

Hey man, this might sound way off but give it a thought. How about red tuck in roll. It would contrast real well with the gold, it would blast off with the black, and stay clean. I have seen the combo before and it looked great. I would suggest getting some samples from the interior guy before pulling the trigger.

 

Checkout Billy Gibbons T bird, I love the black & gold seats with the white piping.
Very kool! Can't wait to see the Chevy put back together...

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

White and gold

 

black/ gold insert/ white piping

 

here's something different. How bout a black and gold candy stripe with gold welt?

 

anymore ideas?

 

I don't know if it is made, but you know the metallic red you see in diner seats? I would do a black t&r with the header panels in metallic gold, black piping.

 

looks niiice! I would say all black tuck in roll.. no colored piping! Ive never been a fan of colored piping... breaks up the clean and smooth look of all one color... just leaving the dash gold would look nice... if your running hubcaps, i would paint the rims gold so you can see the lip around the caps... that would look sweet... whatever you do, the car is baddass!!

 

I have White t & r with the gold piping, make sure the piping matches the dash or is just something brilliant, dont get anything dull it would look really off. but yea white is miserable to keep klean!!!

 

Wish now I had painted the whole car the Gold! Man is it HOT!

 

I had considered black, but man it would be HOT here in the south!

 

White with gold piping

 

Damn, that car looks straight from the pics

 

Was a barn find car from Texas. Was very little rust and the body was near perfect. You don't find cars in this shpae that old very often.... This one will be a keeper.

 

Here are a couple more pics after the tape came off. I need to get her outside for better pics.. I will update later.
