I like it!


she does too, I do as well but I figured that bright white looked fake on the seats and such, but I still have to do those, door panels look good. I got it for the TA but used it on this. I may end up doing mine white as well, the one door panel I have is more of an off white, and I bought a dover white spray can for plastic it's more of a yellow white, looks good but not sure I can match some vinyl dye for my seats.

I may just redo all of the TA new covers, maybe door panels or find a dye to match the new seat material once I get em. Not sure.

works for the vette, just don't want em both the same.

outside aint staying white, she wants a green like summit's sour apple green metallic or forest moss metallic I think they were.

A metallic green would look great with that interior, imho. Are those similar to the '69 Chevy Rally Green?

I had a 71 Vette 4 speed with an L88 motor, M22 trans. Eventually turned into a road race car. Wouldn't let wife drive it. So she bought her own. 69 350-350 with 4 speed.

We were the terror of Long Island when they were both on the street.

Sold them both. Sob! Sob!:badidea: times 2.
