I love the contrast between black exterior paint and tan leather inside, but that's just my opinion.

I've always liked black with tan interior, but I can't picture it with gray door panels and carpets. I'm assuming the only carpets you have to work with are gray or black.

I'd go with number 2 if your carpets won't be subjected to mud, grease, dark stains. The black carpet is great at hiding that, but it will need to vacuumed all the time of you get a lot of dust, clay, sand, etc...

I like the wood trim, too, but a lot of people go overboard with it. Start with just the pieces you feel the interior REALLY needs, then stand back and ask yourself if it needs anymore. I don't know about you, but my hood release handle doesn't need wood trim on it.

well the floor is going to be herculiner so it will be hard and i may be mis representing by saying tan i mean a very light biege sorta cream color the wood trim includes a wood speaker cover that i am building in the front door panels and armrests for the back seat

BTW when i say door/ side panels i mean on the inside nothing on the outside will change except maybe the removable top color could go to beige if i go that route

Not so sure I'd do a beige top color with that black paint. But hey, whatever tickles your fancy! I like the look of higher-end vehicles that have the light tan dash and trim to go with the seats. If you're not crazy about all that tan, I'd go with choice #3.

And BTW, 1956MarkII, I laughed pretty hard on the hood release comment...
