70 Formula 535

I'm starting to think about interior. I'm torn between going with factory Sandalwood color (as in the photo) or black. The plan is to buy Recaro Specialist seats in cloth and have them recovered in leather in a factory appearing pattern. I think this would look good with the factory door panels, dash, etc. I know I mentioned this previously, but the exterior will be Carousel Red (Hugger Orange), the car’s original color. Thoughts about an interior color like this in a pro-touring car?

I say hell yea!! That color would be awesome!

Here's a photo of a Carousel Red over Sandalwood Formula I found on the web.



Part of me also thinks it would be cool to forego the TA engine turned dash bezel I had planned in favor of the original woodgrain one.

More progress on the body. Now I need to start making decisions on little things.

The goal is to maintain the factory vibe throughout, just a little cleaner. So I'm considering welding up all the extra holes on the core support and inner fenders to clean things up. Anything I should consider or do now to make it easier to run everything under the fender (rather than attached to the top of the inner fender)? I'll be running the battery in the trunk.

Haven't posted updates in a while, but things are moving along. Aluminum 535 in place with factory style accessories. I'm hoping this set-up works well enough. Next up is wiring and fuel, brake, and other misc. lines. Haven't given much thought to AN lines I'll need to make, but the time is here. Never done this before, and not sure what the best options are with regard to brand of lines/fittings, etc.
