I have a blank canvas project that I’m ready to start. It’s just a 2v 351 xr-7 car. Looking for color ideas. Keep in mind this will be a black interior with a black vinyl top…ideas welcomed
The 1970 code T red was sharp with black top and interior. Or a darker more modern maroon. Triple black is timelessly cool too!
I found vinyl to be troublesome and can hold water and create rust underneath if not sealed well. How about painting the top black, using chromed vinyl top trim as a separator, and then using the T red paint Calicat suggested? Definitely keep everything chrome that you can. Blacked out looks too much like modern plasti-cars for my tastes, but is fine it you are going for a modern-ish restomod.

Black painted top area instead of vinyl top. I prefer smooth tops to vinyl covered tops.

That’s a great looking car! Great stance
To be a bit contrarian - I think a black body with a maroon top would look amazing. Basically how it looks in the photo. You see so many with a black/dark top, so this would really catch the eye.
Well, plans have changed already. The availability of a Dynacorn roof skin has put thoughts of a vinyl top to bed for good…now I’m more in the camp of competition orange
Hi !
For me I a nice orange is a Dodge (sorry) Mango orange metallic with black center hood stripe,
Should look awesome and a bit different!
But you already have a good looking car.
Good luck
I’ve changed my mind to competition orange…
