I'm a purest so I'd go with black door cards and seats - but then again Chester has a black head liner...

Brown would be cool. if you're keeping the OEM bench seats that will be a lot of leather.

Head over to the Pig Preservation Society too for more input. Great looking pig by the way
 
That's a really nice pig!
My pig's a two tone green as well, but a lighter shade of green.
I found some old Mercedes seats at the local U-pull it. I hesitated a bit on buying them because they were a burgundy color, but I think they work well with the black carpet and door cards.

Looking forward to meeting you at Pig Party 2018.:beer:
 
Mercedes seats, eh? those are so close to fj60 front seats, it's not funny...are you saying that's the Mercedes back seat, too?
 
Yeah, come on down! We like pictures and any color interior would look good in that baby. Pig Party 2018, need to be there.
Thanks! I'll post a full right up and build when I'm finished with it. Probably in about a month. Give or take when my weatherstripping comes in the mail. Said it's being shipped from Thailand hahaha. I really hope it's the right pieces :hillbilly:

You can bet on it that I'll be at this next years pig party!! Already looking forward to it and meeting all of y'all!

Thanks for the input man! After much thought I think I'm going to stick with factory and roll black all around. I was really wanting the brown interior but the more I thought about it the more I realized that with the way the rest of the vehicle turned out it's best just to stick to the roots.
My local upholstery guy quoted 900 to do the front and back bench seats in brown. I went ahead and ordered the ones that Cruiser Corps sells on their website for the factory pattern.

Whoa! The simularites front and back are pretty stricking to a 60's seats like lambcrusher said! Did you have to do much modifying for the latch on the back seat?
And that burgundy actually has a pretty rich classy look to it. I bet it looks great with everything else black.
And heck yeah man, cannot wait to go wheel with y'all and meet all of y'all pig guys!!

The back seat is stock. I just had the upholsterer match it to the front seats as close as he was able. I wanted to use the back seat out of the Mercedes as well, but someone beat me to it.
Those seats are awesome, super comfortable. They are electric though, so that took some sorting out.
 
Hi guys! It's came down to deciding what color I want to do my interior in. I settled on a saddleback leather look. There's a guy that makes reproduction panels that look great that I plan on doing business with I just need help deciding how much brown is too much? Everyone's opinion is welcomed. I'm at a loss on going black door panels and brown seats or brown door panels and brown seats. If anyone has pictures of brown interior on their pig please post them! Or any other color for that matter so I can get an idea on what it will look like.
Oh and I have factory black carpet going in it if that makes a difference to anyone.

I saw one guys interior on his pig that was brown but the color didn't match his seats. I will post some pictures of the build soon. Thanks guys!
Oh and this is my first post so if something is out of whack or wrong I apologize!!
Love the forum, been on it for years just never posted until now.
Thanks again!
