    What do you all think? The guy I bought the car from was going to paint it yellow so all the jams, dash, under good and garnish moldings are yellow. He did a nice job. Would you leave the inside yellow (dash and garnish moldings) or spray them black?

    The only way it would possibly make sense is if you are gonna paint the car that yellow.

    I'd suggest black dash especially if you use the bel air dash moulding. good luck whatever you decide.

    Gloss black the dash. If you are loaded chrome plated garnish moldings are very cool.
     
  11. That color will make it the perfect taxi. Now, you just have to decide which character you want to be from Taxi; Christopher Lloyd, Danny Devito, or Andy Kaufman? :D

    Thanks. The more I look at it the more I think it needs to go. Its just WAY to much yellow and its a little to bright. I am going to do the jams too and go with a different color.....I wish he would have went with a a softer yellow.
