That car needs to be lay'd out with red guts and a set of earlies (repop or OG is fine) then flip flip flip.

I have all sorts of T3 stuff I can trade you towards labor on my SO-1.

I hear that.  Static would be a real clean line for that fat chrome to follow.

Set it and forget it!

Yes Jeff, I still have the lights.\I don't know if Steve is lagging, or just doesn't *need* them enough to cough up the asking price.

For what it's worth. One of the cars on my "list" is a Black push button, sunroof Notch with red interior. But RHD.

So close!

 Calling it black top is like calling a fat dude slim.
Its obviously black bottom.  icon_lol
 And if Everett told you you may have something special, you may have hit the jackpot.

Nice score on the engine!

As for the wheels, well I'm biased, but earlies, even repops look best.

If you are staying black on the outside, red inside would be nice.   thumbs up

Ya. Red would be a first choice. But some reds scare me. Im more Adam of brick red. Bright red I don't care for. Then I know I don't want red carpet. Maybe tan. Then the headline is another story. Lol. And my door panels are two toned.   dunno

All red is a little too much.
Been there done that with the '69 Panel Square.



In an early car with two piece door panels I'd go like this...



with a red lower section, matching red seats, white headliner, grey or black carpet.
