Hi all, finally getting the interior done and was wondering how y'all felt about getting rid of the stripes and just having stars stitched down the center of the engine cover..

My choice would be to keep the stripes (original). Looks great, keep the photos coming.

I'd keep it as original as possible. Glad you've stuck with this project....it's starting to look real nice!

Thanks for all the thumbs up guys! it's been a process.. I ended up dropping the stripes, im sorry! I'm having a black stripe to match the hood done on the engine cover with stars to match and the same on the back seat with one star on the back rest. The guy I found was the only affordable shop in Austin and his work looked really good. He's getting the side rails done so i can put speakers in each corner instead of all on one side and i'm dropping a fair amount of piping on the seats. Local shops wanted 3K+ because i needed new wood and foam and this guy is doing everything for less than 2. Doing the swim platform currently. Sanded it down with 180 and 400 grit sand then cleaned it up with laundry detergent and bleach. Just finished applying the teak oil and it's finally not old and gray.
