Cosmo - thanks, yes, will use the same (Mini-Cooper "Pepper White")for the interior, but will shoot the dash in the maroon metallic. Planning on some form of cream or natural leather for the seats and upholstery. I had wanted a dark exterior color but the painting budget just wouldn't allow the quality of body work needed. And yes, keeping it cooler and "cleaner" (better to hide road grime) were considerations as well.
Chev4t6 - Looked at your album - wow - quite a restoration you're doing, mine is nowhere near that level, just doing a cab-on. With that much effort put into it, I'm sure you're agonizing way more than me on making the right color choice. I too thought about maroon fenders but when I had my son photo shop one like that it just didn't look right. I'm putting my logo on the doors which has maroon and that's why I need the maroon stripe and wheels, but the fenders need something just slightly different to show off the curves and give it that vintage look. I had seen a '38 with gray fenders and light gray cab and bed - probably not original but looked soooo vintage and that's what I'm after.
Thanks for all the feedback.
