I have gone to a brushed aluminum look on my '74-2.0 on the interior, nothing big but the switch area on the dash, the Momo steering wheel spokes, and the window cranks are all now brushed aluminum.
now I want to dress up the area behind the front trunk wall by covering the clutter (except the fuel tank area) with some aluminum panels.
has anyone out there done this. LOOKING FOR IDEAS.

Not mine, but a fancy front trunk. Easiest thing to do it just carped the wheel wells in matching carpet. Dresses it up a LOT

I'd be a little worried about static electricity with all that carpet around a fuel tank.

That is a nice clean look and a lot easier than trying to fit aluminum panels around that tank.
thanks for the pics!
