Started to do the interior in my car this weekend. I picked up 3 cans of grey interior paint from gbodyparts to paint the plastic pieces. Paint worked awesome with proper preparation techniques and the color is great.
Heres a pic of the pieces I've done so far:

Hey guys here's an update. I've been doing a little interior work, mostly painting and changing things to grey. I reinstalled the center counsel, pulled the dash and painted it grey, and replaced the column shift column with a floor shift model from my donor car. My car must have been stolen at some point or the column broke hence the column shift column since the car is a real 442. Also, the turn signal lever was broken, and I didn't have any wipers so that needed to be fixed. I took some time to clean up the wiring mess a previous owner created and fix any hazards I found. I think it turned out quite nice, let me know what you think!

Yes! Like that way better than the black actually.
I just went all the way back to the beginning in this thread to refresh my memory. Been a while working on this eh?
You've done an excellent job man, it's a pretty inspiring build. Congrats and keep it up. 8)

Thanks for the complement! I has been quite some time, just over 3 years now. But as funds allow I get things done little by little.

Stellar work, your interior looks great with the contrast of black seats and grey dash 8) .

Nice work. You have obviously put a lot of time and money into this car and have tried to keep it looking stock.
What transmission to radiator lines did you use? In some earlier posts it looks like stainless. FYI...you might be interested in the new Hellwig sway bar set up (inexpensive and doesn't mount to lower control arms).
