    Wow! Great curves to match the car out side. I particularly like the downward arrow pattern at the top of the seats. Really gives it a nice accent and professional look for sure.

    The exterior color will be gunmetal gray with a mix of light silver to lighten it up. I will post pictures when the job is completed. Right now it is in the mock up stage. For some reason the owner brought the car unpainted and he tells me he will remove the interior before he paints the car. I told him that he is going about backwards and he said "I know". He just wanted the interior work done so he could install it when he is ready.

    Thanks for all the nice comments. I will add the next job on here also, it is a 1959 Impala. I am only doing the seats and package tray at this time though.
