Tweet

thanks guys, well I guy I am using has been doing interiors here in indiana for a very long time, I didn't list the shop name , it is "interiors by ed" all his work I have seen is great. there has been a few cars in the mags, with his interiors. everyone I have asked loved the work he did on there cars. Ed doesn't want to give me a firm price until he has been able to look at the car, & the types of materials have been picked. but he siad that I would most likely be in the 2,500- 3,500 range.
mY next ?...........
my coupe is a purpleish- blue color, GM call's "laser Blue", used on the new impalas & other cars & trucks for the past 2 years, to give you a idea of the color I used. I am really leaning towards using " buckskin "or "saddle" color for the interior, what do you guys think about that? what colors might you guy's suggest?

Boy you guys are getting a great deal. In So. Cal. you can't get anything nice for those prices.

I agree!
I had my 55 done in 2003, included carpet, ultraleather, custom 1 pc headliner, custom door panels, custom bins in the trunk w/ upholstered deck lid & I spent about 10k.
I spent $1500 just having a few mods to my roadster seat & door panels.

With the buckskin/saddle colors - you can do almost any color body you want tho I would probably do it in a slate/light graphite with that exterior color you are using

The price estimate you got sounds excellent, better than most that I have experience with. Buckskin or a silverish grey would work well. If you've got clean habits and clean friends, white would work real well with "laser blue" as well.
