It used to be black ... was Parchment ... is Parchment again.
I did a two tone color on it ... the outside color of the car matches the base and the vinyl part is like the door panels ...

Awesome! That looks exactly like mine.

Now you need a Plug and Chug for cup holders: http://www.cjponyparts.com/console-p...-1969/p/PAC1B/

Dude ... what did you do with the steering wheel .. i'm trying hard to convert mine from YES BLACK (as the PO painted the F_CKER) to Parchment .... real tough ...

Ralph68Coupe · 02-14-2013, 01:47 PM

HOLY COW ... I love your steering WHEEL .. DAMN ... I want one

!

aolshove · 02-14-2013, 01:49 PM

Well, I kinda... painted the F_CKER. LOL!

I used the same interior vinyl/plastic paint that I used on the other interior parts. Blogged it here (towards the middle/bottom): 1968 Mustang Convertible Restoration: A Dash More Paint

What did you use for paint?

Ralph68Coupe · 02-14-2013, 03:34 PM

For the base (plastic) i used Duplicolor (Wimbeldon White) that I found by fluke at my local "Canadian Tire" store don't ask ... you have to be Canadian

to get that one ...

And for the vinyl I believe I bought at VCM Vinyl Enamel paint (parchment color).

what i meant about the canadian comment was referring to the store .. not Duplicolor.

When I first got mine, the drive letters were missing in the console. I looked around to see if I could just buy those, but didn't find any. I ended up buying the whole shift plate on Ebay. When I lift up the console to change it, the letters fell out. Seems the tabs that hold it loosened up. I just put it back and epoxied it. I guess now I have a spare.

Glad you got yours figured out.
