Great color of green. My first car was a 54 champion coupe that I spray bombed CalCustom metalflake avacado green!!! I was 11, and the paint was 50 cents a can discontinued at Gibsons!
I wanted it to turn out like the one in your pix......(it didn't) ;(
It looks like your having way too much fun! Continue with the good work.Bez Auto Alchemy

2nd picture really shows the color nice. Engine is sweet too.
I've always been a big fan of green on cars. Had 2 buicks in near that color.
Could see some details on your brake pedal? Doing a firewall MC was an engineering challenge on my 52 with such a shallow dash area to work with. I like to see how others did it.

It looks like the Interior decision is just about made for you, with the Rust Color Window Frames, it can be a shade of Brown, or the same as the outside Green, mixing in a totally different Color into the Brown/Green mix probably won't work.StudeRich

StudeRich,
I am considering matching the uppermost portion of the board as close as possible to the brown door trim and going with a similar brown fabric headliner. Inserts on boards (now Med. Brown) would go to a cream which would relate to instrument cluster inserts, steering column and wheel. A darker brown on lowest portion of the door. Need to see if 54 regal (brown) yardage will work with new colors. Lots to consider
