Black steels all the way
They dont look awful...they look kinda period for a stop light brawler/ cruiser of the time

Thats why i think they suit the car.

Saying that black steels look great on most mopars (my No. 1 choice and will be on mine 1 day), so win win!!

Engine bay looks horrible but will be detailed when i fit the 440.
The seats have been upholstered in two tone green, but will be recovered in black vinyl.
I have Capri Recaro's to try for size, but they might look a bit lost in the car.
The door cards will be changed for ally plate or recovered in black vinyl.
Carpet is very manky beige, so will be replaced with black.
Want to replace the dash with ally plate and a row of dials.

And for inspiration again.

I wouldn't alter the dash, fit a little pod under it and mount your gauges in there, fit your tach round the steering column, butcher the car and it will devalue it, also stick with the bench seat. You can mod a car without hacking it about. Summit do some cheap but nice buckets in vinyl.

I'm always open to ideas and suggestions Mick, no problem.
The dash is broken and half the dials don't work.

The speedo leaps all over the place.
I try not to cut anything so it can go back to original if needed.
Iv'e done the same with my Harley Shovel FLH.
I like the idea of big tach on the column though.

Will check out Summit.

My mate had your Fury for years in his garage. Nice honest car. Very solid.
Hope you have some fun with it.
