Moving on to the interior. I completely gutted what was left of it, which was not much. Removed the carpet found surface rust under the back seat and up front in the foot wells. Sanded it all down (sorry no pics of the rust) and just sprayed the areas I sanded. In my opinion the other areas look fine and it will be carpeted anyway. I also sanded down the rear door panels or whatever they are called and will be painting them black. I still need to sand and prime/paint the inside of the doors and the dash. Can anyone tell me if the parchment color is original to the car?

I finished sanding down both doors to bare metal and primed them both. I would have painted them but my paint is on back on order, so it will have to wait until next weekend. Still have to do the dash but I'm saving that for last.
Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see the finished product, I'll be watching!

This is looking great. I love seeing the work as you progress through it. Thank you very much for sharing.
Out of curiosity, and well just because I don't know, what are these two parts here in the pictures? They don't appear to be part of the doors, or am I missing something?

And the second is the interior panel covering the rear vent window?
Not sure though...

Nice work on the '67 Coupe! I noticed that your old seat has the comfort weave pattern. I wonder if your car came optioned with the comfort weave. I'd order up a Marti report [just the basic one] to see what you car came with originally as well as original colors.
To answer your question, yes Parchment was an original interior color. It's also the original color for my car as well. But if your car came with comfort weave from the beginning, I'd stick with the same. Since you seem to be doing a resto-mod project [adding some performance with an original look] sticking with some original style tidbits, like seat patterns is a nice touch. Also the TMI sport seats come in Parchment. They have some bonus side bolster and look original. If you are planning to do some spirited driving, then upgrading to the sport seats will be nice.

Good luck with the project! That reminds me, I need to update my build post as well.

As for the Marti report I'm confused. How can they give me a detailed report if I have no current door tag? Is it possible for them to know all the options the car came with just off the vin#?

Yes! All you need is the VIN and they have the records from Ford. They send you a report of what your car had originally as far as equipment, details on the color and dates on when the car was assembled, where, what dealership sold the car originally and how many like your car are out there.
