Opinions wanted-upholstery

Getting ready to send my seats out to get upholstered, 1975 Jimmy 2wd. It's original Crimson Red, which looks very much like huggar orange. I am definitely doing black dash door panels and seats...but was wondering how the black and white houndstooth would look in a 75, all opinions welcome? Thanks in advance.

Re: Opinions wanted-upholstery

The houndstooth is "loud" but looks good when used where correct. In a K5 it'll be more love/hate. That said, build it the way you want it.

Need more details for a better answer. High back or low back seats? Houndstooth on the full seating surface or just inserts on the seating surface?

Low back seats, would look like the earlier 69-72 style just on a 75, which would be inserts with black bolsters.

My old '74 was pretty much orange, and I did the black w/houndstooth inserts in it. I thought it turned out very well.

I have this pic here at work. I still needed to put the dash together, but you can get the idea.
