After having two race cars with black interiors, I said never again. The original interior in my '66 had been sprayed black. I got a can of paint brush cleaner at Lowe's and have been slowly removing the black paint by hand. It is not damaging the original vinyl and I will be able to salvage most of the original interior. Not OE quality, but you won't see the door panels at 140 mph. I still have some more work to do on this one obviously.
