The nicely fitted blue seat cover hurts the interior (IMO). Too bad nobody repros original appearance vinyl ones (any vendors listening). I think all tan like the factory would have been a better choice anyway.
And about $10 in stickers would help the engine compartment as well. The air cleaner and heater box look a little naked. Maybe they are there, but out of view.
Wonder what the bed looks like?
I hope Nobody takes offense at these comments, as I don't mean to be heavily critical. But on a really nice full-out resto job, details matter.
I'll shut up now.
I don't think there is offense... when it is claimed to be a concours restoration, it will get picked apart, if anything is not correct.
