Major change in interior plans

Hey guys, this is in the "interior" forum, just for a hint.

Interior of the motor LOL

I think that stuff will look good in Cnut's truck.

That orange looks a lot like Sierra Gold, looks good with the Charcoal grays,

Totally agree. Beautiful colors.

Man the months fly by.

Just went down to visit my upholstery guy to look at the estimate on my interior materials. Holy cow....sticker shock . I'm planning to use some perforated leather and there's a $385 setup charge no matter how much you want done, and $6 per square foot. One hide is 50 square feet and I think you have to do 1/2 hide increments as they can only work with half hides. The leather is $1150 a hide (he uses only top quality Italian leather), so half a hide of perforated leather is $1110 or $44 a square foot plus shipping!

I'm using Mercedes wool headliner and Mercedes wool velour carpet which is not inexpensive either, but the total is relatively small compared to the leather.

He told me he has a few hides of a slightly darker orange/tan leather (used in Ferraris) than I picked out on hand and he would sell them to me for $850 each. I'm trying to decide if I want to do that or not. It might actually match my exterior color a little better.

The good news is that the labor is already "paid" for.

Here's the two colors....in the sun and shade..

He was getting ride of the BBC and going with LS?

He needs to the engine is dated lol. It was the cats meow 15 years ago when he started lol.

I really like the new interior colors!!!!!

similar to what the used in this truck. They used a dark redish leather to highlight.

I thought he was going with gray. I hate saddle or tan interiors, every car I ever had with one got changed. My Z28 was that way and so was my old 70 SS 454 Chevelle.

I was going with a gray-beige originally but it's so "70's". I updated it almost a year ago to better go with my exterior color and give a little more pizzaz! The problem I was running into was trying to reconcile the gray-beige with my two exterior colors and going to an orange-tan helped that.

Where have you been?

I think there's quite a bit of difference between a crappy 70's vinyl interior and high quality Italian leather. I wasn't sure about the change in color until I saw some high-end cars with it.
