Finally finished Got the beige door panels in with my original black arm rests, installed beige carpet obtained from Morphenspectra (thanks James). Everything went quite well. Carpet fit extrordinarily fine. Door panels were a breeze. Removed some surface rust areas on the floor pan (but decided to leave tar on & continue to be blind to what might be lurking) Actually, when I chipped tar back to good metal I was finding original grey paint. There were no real areas of suspect. Anyway, I'm happy with the outcome & looks. Now all that's left to get "beiged" is the seat inserts.
Oh! and I didn't have any parts left over... not even a screw

I like it.

Very nice work

It turned out great

Looks super clean, Bruce . I REALLY dig black and tan.

BTW, did you notice the beer Tristen is drinking in the Powdercoating topic. FT .

Hiya Dave
thanks for the comments one & all
Good to hear from you Dave. I wouldn't have noticed the Fat Tire if you hadn't mentioned it. ya got some really nice manifolds there. Great color too
.......b

The manifolds are ruin't, actually. One was dropped, and both have messed up clear coat.

Oh well. I'll redo to make it look like the one in my avitar.

I kind of like the black seats on the tan carpet Bruce. I had a red Spiftfire at one time like that. I used to get a LOT of positive comments on it. You might want to consider leaving it that way for a while and see how you like it.

Bruce.... looks nice.
What kind of steering wheel is that ?

That's a Momo wheel. If you're wondering because of its oval shape, the stretching of the picture to fit the page did that

Gint, I can see what you maen looking at it more... if the inserts were beige they wouldn't contrast as they do now. Good idea, thanks. Was thinking on changing the color of the arm rest bottom to beige.

Center console....what's in there? Is that your own work or the speaker kit from one of our posters?

Really like the look Bruce. Sure hope tan isn't faster!

Looks great! Just changed my carpet order to beige/tan. James seems like a really good guy.

The tan looks pretty nice. Last year I changed the black interior in my white '74 to tan; carpeting, back pad and door panels. I kept the console pad between the seats black to match the doors. I think the white exterior and tan interior makes a good looking combination.

Unfortunately, white car is being parted out soon and I'm not sure if I should transfer the tan interior to "new" Bahia Red '72.

I made the console & put the speakers in. They just barely fit too.

Jim, we'll see if beige is faster march AX

Howard, James does have a great product. The marine carpet is soft enough so you can fold where you need & make a very prof. looking install.

STL, beige looks great with red too. I wanted to do this to add brightness to the interior instead of looking into a "black hole"!

So you got two in the kick panels....two in the middle? No bass or tweeters? How is that for seperation of channels?

The 6"ers in the consol really do a great job on bass. The 4" Blaupunkts in the kicks have a nice high range, so much so that I need to turn the treble down below half way. As for separation, the only time I really get that is if Pink Floyd is on or Led Zep. Otherwise it's just the whole cabin is filled with fantastic tunes I have the 6"'s on the front channel and the 4"'s on the rear. I could switch so a 4 & 6 were on the front etc... to get actual separation. The car is so noisy that it really doesn't matter to me.

Nice. Where'd the door panel material come from? good color match.

Wow! That looks excellent! I recently turned around on the subect of non-black interiors, I like them in orange and red cars.... (damned britain)

Hey Scotty, they are original panels from a '73. I put a wanted ad on the classifieds here & Billy Whitesides came thru with them. Ya, I was pleased with the match.

Miles, thanks!
you could do your car then you'd be driving a drink (ever have one 'a dem???) they're GUD!

Aww...I thought you reupholstered

Hey! Similar; tan console, black carpets.
