I've always loved the blue colour of the 69-71(maybe) interior and think it would look really sweet with a white car. I've got a white 75 and was wondering if anyone knew if this was a possible swap(easy is better).

You have your choice of dying the parts, or replacing them. All it takes is time and money. Some companies will replace your interior while you wait at some of the large shows. You need to schedule in advance. I think it takes about 2000. for them to do the work and all. I could be off.

yeah, it isnt very hard work, the seats were the hardest for me... on my old green machine.. but it is costly.. it will nickle and dime you to death if you replace..

and dying is only an option with some colors..

ie its easy to go from saddle to black.. black to anything else is harder..

ive had good results dying interior panels..

i have not had good results with high wear item like seats and carpet..

you could buy seat covers and carpet and dye the rest..

that could save you quite a bit..

cthulthu is pretty much right for a less costly way out. I dyed most of my parts just to freshen them up, seats and carpet do not dye well, I bought new. People that see the finished product think I bought all new stuff! Make sure you use a quality dye, when cleaning some of my old stuff, one piece had been dyed and the pre-cleaner took all the color right off! (not good!)I had my paint shop mix mine for me (68 bright blue) it needed a hardenerbut I'm not sure exactly what it was. If you're interested, I can find out.
Anothe suggestion would be to go ahead and buy your seat covers and have the dye matched to them.
