Puckpuck, I want to do the same thing eventually after I get all the performance stuff that I want. But since you chose black, I'm going to choose Racing Red. Ha ha... called it!
Ever since I saw a classic 300SL Gullwing with a silver body and red leather interior, I've always wanted eventually have a car with the same colour setup.
For some reason I hate changing anything to the body work but when it comes to the interior, I wouldn't mind changing everything as long as its tasteful. I guess its because I have this notion in my head that the interior is my personal space whereas the body kinda also belongs to the rest of the world.... Anyway... Instead of painting the dash, I was wondering if it was at all possible to have a leather surface instead... I'm not taking Connely hides here... Dyed McDonald-cow-leather like that of the Lincolns and Caddy's would be fine for me... And with that nice stitching here and there like the BMWs and Mercedes especially around the sharper contours of the dash...
Also, has anyone thought of filling up (or molding?) that gap between the ashtray/lighter and the radio? I don't think I heard anyone mention it before, but I think that if that gap was filled in it would look much better. I think it could be one of those little details that can really set a car apart from the others.
