For yellow you don't have much to work with, but brown or tan would look very cool or black. Here is a tan/brown on yellow Ferrari that looks very cool..

I would go with a tan interior with yellow accents for popMaybe do the seat inserts and steering wheel in yellow. All yellow hurts the eyes and obscures details. just my .02

I don't think that tan would look good considering that the outside is black but...I'm not chip foose either. My only thought is to paint the interior yellow then use black leather for the door panels and other pieces. Maybe even use some yellow ultra suede as accents with the black leather. My 2 cents.

I like the Tan/Brown interior on yellow. That may be the way to go. Thanks for the examples tvblazer

Hey man,
Thanks for the input. I thought about yellow and black today as well. My thought was dying all the interior pieces black ex.(door panels,headliner trim and dash) and then painting the doors, door jams, dash bottom, back of tail gate and back side panels gloss yellow. Maybe even do a yellow colored spray in bed liner type material on the floor and side panels. Just an idea.

slicks garage · 11-19-2008, 11:09 PM

My vote, tone the interior down!!!! You have the pop on the outside, understate the inside. I think you will get tired of the double yellow, and not even know why it is happening. Cool tan, earthtone colors on the inside. Trust me.
Chip Foose.............. Ok not really, but it did sound like I know what I am talking about.

**Captkaos** · 11-19-2008, 11:38 PM

Very light tans could work also. Get someone to photoshop the yellow in, but it would definitely pop with it.

cochino12 · 11-20-2008, 12:00 AM

I'd go tan and black inside but what do I know ha ha.

edflores · 12-08-2008, 06:53 PM

any updates?

Chevyrod · 12-08-2008, 08:03 PM

Not really any updates that are worth posting.

I have been smoothing out the textured finish on the dash, door panels and head liner trim. Should have them ready to paint or dye this weekend still not sure on what color to go with. I will try to post some updates soon.

Chevyrod · 02-07-2009, 07:13 AM

Little more progress. I got the top and side glass installed with new rubbers from soft seal. Still need to finish the interior but she is starting to look like a blazer again

tvblazer78 · 02-07-2009, 08:13 AM

Lookin good man!

mrenj23 · 02-07-2009, 08:49 AM

Keep cookin man. I'm getting my front and rear glass installed monday so maybe we can go cruisin sometime soon.

smashingchuck · 02-07-2009, 01:39 PM

so I take it it did not sell on eBay?

Chevyrod · 02-07-2009, 02:27 PM

No, It didn't meet reserve. I am going to just keep working on her a little at a time.

Man, I am kind of glad it didn't sell. I have alot of time and MONEY invested in this project already!!!!!! It would be nice to see it finished

No, I'm not really over it, Just don't seem to have much time for it anymore.
