Hey guys, I sold the Firehawk and bought a 69. Its getting the full treatment as yo ucan see in the pics below. I am up in the air though on interior. Do I A. keep the white seats and do a white hockey stick stripe, or B. do black seats and black stripe like I originally planned? WHat do you guys think? Also any pics of a red 69 with white interior and white hockey stripe or vice vs. would be great!

What is wrong with the white interior? I think it would look good in a Red car. black stripes would too. If it is a correct restoration and it came with white stripes then by all means do them in White. Otherwise do them any old way that makes "YOU" happy. Remember never try to please the crowd as they will never agree with you. One will like it one way and someone else will think it should be another.

Follow your heart. You have to live with it!! not them. A stripe is too easy to change and if they want to buy the car then they can paint it any way they want.

BTW: I like it!!! Wish mine was that far along.

I say go witht he white stripes! that would look pretty sweet. The white interior is awesome. You dont really see to many white interiors to much.

Good Advice---------

Here's a photo that might help------Oh Yeah,------If you use the Blonde , I don't think the color of the stripe or interior will matter--

In my opinion certain models look great with the white interior. 69 Camaro with standard interior is one of those models. If you go to this page on my website you will see some pics of the 69 I did up in 1996. White interior with white hockey stick stripe. Granted, the color isn't red and it has a vinyl top, but might help in your decision. Good luck.

Looks like a combination black/white interior? I think that's known as a "tuxedo" interior. Personally, I like the tuxedo interior. Oh, and stay with the 5-spoke Americans! That wheel looks so good on there, even without the tire.

Keep it white. I had a 68 that was between hugger orange and red with white interior and it looked awesome. Plus the interior stays much cooler during the summer months.

As for combinations, my 68 had white seats and white door panels. The carpet, headliner, belts and dash were all black. I don't believe I've ever seen an all white interior.

I had a 1968 SS/RS that was red with white (parchment) interior and a white stripe down the side. It was an awesome looking car; much nicer than the usual black on red combination. JMO
