Does anyone have the same colour dash in their car?? So many shades and the column looks so light compared to the wheel and everything else around it.
Nope, mine’s the suede black.

LOL, because it's what I do.. since I was a little boy and my mom bought a brand new "stereo" system from Sears in '74 or so! I had a few screws left over when she came home from work 8 hours later! LOL
Perhaps you'd better understand if you had followed my Super Bee restoration.. to the last bolt. 4 years and 2800 hours.
Now Complete Restoration / Pulling my 1969 'Bee down for strip and paint

T5 copper poly was a '69 colour and I do know another fellow with a survivor in T5 with a black interior. I have no tag or sheet so can't prove the white interior is original, it may very well have been tan based on the OE headliner, dash and belts but who knows and I like it the way it is. Just hoping that I DON'T find a broadcast sheet in the car!Is it in it's original colour combo?
No where did I say I was going to restore this car. As the title states it's a "clean up". How steep that slope gets is yet to be determined. I know the wheels are a year too new, but they are mint with new tires on them. Just wish the car had large bolt pattern hubs as I have a set of mint road wheels with new rubber on them that would be more correct, but of course are 4.5" pattern. I haven't researched proper color/texture of grill etc but it looks not bad at this time, but like everything it will get attention at some point. Seats, not sure what isn't correct about them?! Not touching the motor other than putting the breather and pcv on the correct sides and while at it measuring cam lift.When you say restore does that mean going back to the correct wheels , grill color , seats and upholstry color , stock intake etc ....?
I like the color scheme and the engine sounds real strong .
After seeing the underside I understand why its coming apart .
I'll let you know when the rear axle assembly, springs and all is on the shop floor!So basically a heavy check or D check is what your aiming for. Looks like it needs a mechanical makeover.
