I like it!
Sounds like a plan...just remember you can get most all of the trim out of a Cutlass too, so don't settle for some sun-damaged or scratched up stuff. Get some nice pieces to work with. I get interior trim for next to nothing at the yards. One even let me take a decent, uncracked dash panel(speaker/vent cover) for free, along with some A-pillars. I had bought a header panel a few days before though, so it may have been that they wanted to keep me coming back for anything else I need... As for the color, I'd have to agree that a contrast between the headliner and carpet can look nice. Depends on the colors though and mostly on your personal preference. If you do change it, post some pics on your site!!! Personally, I'd considered blue and gray. But then I thought about what I'd want to do blue and what I'd want gray and decided it would work out too well. Where are you having your seats done? A local place or somewhere else? Are they making the covers or are you buying some? I have a spare set of Lear's I'd like to recover. They actually could use a complete restoration. Metal has surface rust on almost everything and they could probably use new springs. The rear isn't bad, but the cloth on all needs to be redone and the leather on the lower pass. side rear is bad too. Power 6 embroideries are starting to fray and are slightly faded as well. The only local place I found that would even work on them wouldn't do the Power 6 cause they said it's a trademark symbol...whatever. I don't think the guys that made these cars or Molly himself would mind someone having the symbol redone in the process of restoring the seats. Anyway, good luck with it.
