what about light blue metallic???

Post by landon1 » Sat Jun 21, 2008 7:29 pm

so the hamtramck site has been bothering me lately - nothing of their fault, but plymouth's... so my car came H2B5 interior - deluxe brite blue bench seats. it shows in the color accent book that with that interior, the rest of the materials are dark blue....mk, but i have a piece of the original package tray, headliner piece, lower doorpanels, dash, etc. that are not dark blue or even brite blue imo - they look more similar to light blue metallic, so why is this not also in the book? i don't have the original steering wheel, and my broadcast sheet does say it was a B7 dark blue wheel, so that's a given, but what about the rest?

anywho, the bench is long gone, so i've been thinking about interiors - i could do all bright blue, or do light metallic blue(like original i'm thinking) but with white seats, or do it stock-style white and black...what are your opinions?

just curious, as usual - maybe eventually i'll figure out the nature of this beast :lol:

The interior color could just have faded,the other day i got a sample patch of the vynal that is in my car,and its a totally different shade since its just old and faded.

Who knows.

i don't understand it, unless it was that the plastic parts were all brite blue(that's the only color other than dark blue or lagoon blue (74) available to buy now), steering wheel dark blue (as coded), seats brite blue (as coded), upper door panels and package tray light blue metallic (this i can actually prove), headliner med. blue (i can prove that too), and carpet would be dark or med. blue

h2 is deluxe vinyl bench - has charger buckets in it now

seems like several shades of blue, but i have a pic of an original cuda that has several dif shades of blue in it...idk confuzzling.

doesn't someone have an interior like i'm thinkin about doing, but in a gtx???- all blue, but with white seats - i think he even put a cuda overhead console in....what colors did you chose/have any pics?
