I have a second gen cooler ready to go in all I need to get is the lines. With the new motor and radiator my car never gets warm even when I push it with the beehive.

The beehive doesnt tend to heat the coolant more, but actually heat the oil more.

I know when I have the cash to get the lines I'll be doing it. The last motor had the beehive and lasted to 175K and was treated bad most of its life.

I don't have that luck. So what do you think about the interior colors.

dark brown for two reasons, one, it shows dirt less, and two it will match better. and eventually in the sun, it will fade to light brown anyway.

I'm starting to go more to the dark brown. I tried photoshoping a two tone in the seats but it just doesn't look right.

I don't like how... bright the brown is in your renderings. It's about what you want though.
