Opinions on interior change.
I am in the middle of a frame off restoration. I am getting pretty close to start considering the interior. It is black now, but I like the saddle interior. I am going to paint the exterior a real dark wine/burgundy with a tan top. Any opinions on this. :cheers:
Thanks,
Steve

Yes it is a convertible. I didn't think about the temp. change from black to saddle. Another good reason to change! :yesnod: :jester :cool:

Steve, my car is a basic burgundy with dark saddle interior, white rag top...
it's a bit warm in the Florida summer sun, but not so bad as black....

The light saddle or doe skin would be very pretty. I spent much time debating before I changed mine from stock to a much lighter color. But I am very pleased now that the choice has been made. Making up my mind was the hardest part!

Saddle carpet harder to keep looking clean than black.
I think your color combo will be beautiful. I've seen the burgandy and saddle combo, it's GRRRREAT! (said in a Tony The Tiger voice) :cool: :cool: :cool:

After seeing some of the two-tone interiors on a thread a while back that look great I would consider tan seats/door panels with a dark brown or dark wine carpet. I think that would look awesome with a burgundy exterior.

Re: Opinions on interior change. (Steve Adkins)
Steve,
I am going the complete opposite. From a saddle interior to a black. My paint is going to be International Blue with a white top...didn't think it would look too cool with saddle interior...I may be wrong but I have a couple of years to ponder it. :jester

I think Saddle would look great with Burgundy. Saddle was one of my choices when considering a switch from now black interior. I am on my way now to a black/red interior. I just got red Al Knock door panels delivered last week. :crazy:
