1980 Corvette
We just finished painting and taking the black paint off of the chrome, which looks very nice with the paint job. Now on to the interior.... have been looking at some pictures and I really like the mahogany console. The problem that I am having is that I really don't like the idea or look of the plastic with wood grain, is it possible or has anyone taken actual wood and made a console? and any pointer or suggestions... the interior is tan. Going to redo the carpet in black, and leave the tan dash, and tan seats. On the door panel I had the idea of leaving the tan on top, doing a wood piece in the center and replacing the tan carpet on the door with the black carpet with a tan border. The pics that I'm putting on are from before we bought the car, sanding and starting painting and when we finished the painting. Will get a couple of pics of it all put back together with the chrome.

Dont see too many Vettes painted dark red/maroon shades,looks good,and a change from a bright red.I have a few repairs to do on a friends wifes car,and I might have to try to talk him into that color.Will show him the pic with your wife next to it.His wife is a blonde too.might help him decide..

The color that we used was on an 09 ford edge and the color is called cinnamon, but we changed the copper pearl and omitted the white... so the color goes from maroon, copper, and balck depending on the when the sunlight hits it.... P.S. Good Luck LOL

we doubled the copper pearl... cause the original was just not shinny enough for us... now when the sunlight hits it it's like a copper penny... very pretty!
