Take a look! My plans are for tubular A-arms w/ coilovers. LS3/T56. Either a G-bar or IRS with a 12 bolt rear. Wilwood power disc brake kit. Rushforth Wheels. New interior and paint and some other power adding goodies. Here it is...

What do you all think about keeping the interior the buckskin color? It will be completely redone but I like it different. It seems that everyone is going black these days. How do you think black will affect resale compared to buckskin? Keep in mind that I will be painting the car about the same color, maybe a bit darker blue with gunmetal accents.

Welcome to the site. Like stated above, nice car to start with.

I like the interior color, it's not hard on the eyes and you can do a lot of subtle things to it to really make it unique. You know you will a/c down here, I would add that to the list as well.

Do what YOU like and don't let anybody tell you any different. Don't even listen.

I changed mine to black, but the primary reason was it was parchment. I drove it like that for 25 years. It attracted every greasy fingerprint I had. The slightest touch and it was there forever.

I still like a nice white interior and appreciate the effort it takes to keep it clean. People still say, white interior = girl car. Them saying it upset me more than if I thought they were right.

You like it. Keep it. I like it, but why would you care what I think?

Nice car.
