Moon Patrol Restoration - Opinion

(1/2) > >>

Wade:
I am just starting a Missile Command restoration and I'm about to order parts for it, and I figure I should order the couple of parts I need for the Moon Patrol at the same time.

My question is this.  Should I go with the original style black leather t-molding on the Moon Patrol, or would it look good with light blue T-molding?

I kinda think the light blue would look nice.  But it wouldn't be original, so it might be $10 wasted if I end up selling it (I know, big deal on the $10...)

Opinions?

Wade

Here is a picture of someone else's Moon Patrol for reference:

OMG!!! Wade has come to my house and BLATANTLY STOLEN my Moon Patrol!! Shame on you Wade ;) :P

Seriously, I did like 3 doubletakes at that picture, before deciding that the background looked a little too familiar.

As far as T-mold. Have them send you a sample piece first. One of the 2 suppliers will do this free, and you could make sure that it would not clash before making the commitment. Worst case on re-sale is that you blow $10 off the price so the buyer can get his own molding. (I personally think anything other than black leather is sacrilege, but to each his own :P)

Dave.
