New paint job...comments please

Hey all...im new here....and was wondering what you thought of my idea to customize my 83 Z28....

I was going to put it a set of black seats out of a 4th gen camaro, possibly a console....but leave the original dash, as it has no cracks....

For my paint scheme....I've thought about painting it like Dale Jr.'s #8 Chevy.....i know it may sound stupid, but i think it'd look quite killer, considering nothing on my car is stock....

Any thoughts??

Dave

The interior will rock.

As for the paint job... whatever floats your boat. If you're a big Dale Jr. guy then knock yourself out.

I'd have to see a photoshop pic to give an honest answer, but as of now I don't think it would look good.

Those are some really awesome looking seats, 4h.

Id like a set of black leather ones..but I think that'd be a bit much for my wallet...i work 2 jobs and im still broke...how sad is that?lol

If you dont like the Dale Jr. paint scheme...you guys have any other ideas? Im just tryin to get some mental images here before i wetsand it, finish everything up, and take it in for paint.

haha, ya know....thats exactly what i've got right now! :-) Just looks like crap, cuz the paint is old, cracking..and the ground effects arent worth anything...i need a new set...that'd REALLY help my looks.


Sucks to be broke all the time, huh?
