Sorry to say, There's not much done on it lately, Been working on my original flintgray 1960 bug. Just need to make manifold for the dual 28 pci-1 carbs for the 40 hp motor and then get it running. Just never enough hours in a day.

Hi Fabs, Not to much been going on with the car. Got seat frames ready to paint. Getting ready to start mocking up motor. Here is a couple shots of the decklid I building for it. The vents will have stainless screen inserts that will bolt in from the backside when finished

Not just the same old shit on any of your cars. So many details that most knuckleheads just walk right past.

Here are a few sources I found with a quick search:

http://www.accmats.com/Products/Flooring/Material.aspx

http://www.perfectfit.com/36927/Auto-Carpets.html

http://site.qualitycarinterior.com/custom-color.html

That color reminds me of the upholstery in a '69 Indy 500 edition Camaro ... that surely wouldn't be hard to come by.
They called it red or medium red I believe:
