Still here!
What about the body tub and nose cone suede and the nose brass?

I thought about brass but I just like copper better. I never really cared for gold or anything with the appearance of gold - which is what brass looks like to me. Even my wedding band is white gold.
I need to try some different colors on the wheels to correspond with the copper accents.------------------

I like this, but there are still too many different colors and textures for my taste. The powertrain and seats are artificially aged aluminum (faux and real). The beige is leather and/or faux leather. The green and black are painted. Some colors and textures are still not represented...
I could go all copper (powertrain, seats, accents, etc), with the green wheels and black suede body. Maybe a copper trunk too, and black leather on the seat upholstery (suede would be awesome but I don't want to be scared of a few rain drops).
Thoughts/comments?

What I like about the 3100SFI:
* Very compact and clean. Fits the streamlined look of the car very nicely.
* All the EFI stuff is hidden under the (aluminum) plenum. I think I am going to move the TB on top with a single velocity stack.
* The design of the heads are perfect for my flathead style valve cover plans.
* I love the sound of GM's 60-degree V6 - totally different than the 90-degree motor. Ever since I heard Kameokid's I have wanted one. It's a nasty growl  I believe his had a single cat, no muffler, and dual resonator tips. I am thinking about no cat and a single, original-40, two-chamber, Flowmaster with a single resonator tip. That would have to be a unique sound Thought about duals with Flowmasters, but that's too much time and money to not know what the end (sound) result would be.

Sounds good. the copper will age and turn green, tying in the rims. No need to change the name, though. 
Faux suede idea just the first site I saw. Joann one. two

I like the Ebony Crypton Suede. It says dry clean only, but I can make the seat pads easily detachable, and have them cleaned when necessary. With a fabric guard that probably wouldn't be too often.
You're one heck of a research man Thanks ------------------

I gotta chew on this for a while... That's a lot of copper, but I guess it would really bring the steampunk thing in clear

Glad I can help! Alot of these ideas I've had and it isn't that much harder to find for this application.
Try trans and engine block in iron.
