Re: Dutch 1955 build
I agree, black on top with the red piping. I would also consider a carpet scuff pad on the bottom, you can already see were someone has kicked the leather. My drivers door had the paint worn off in that area from 300K miles of fett dragging getting in or kicking the door open with my arms full.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
I was looking for some inspiration to get moving on my project and remembered this build which is one of my favorites. But it looks like most of the pic's are gone. Still managed to get my fix with the pics that are still there. I really like how clean this truck is....very nice.
