Sorry, can't picture the type of black that would be.
However, keeping to the subject, are you leaning toward a Stealth look? Knight Rider 2000 look? A
street rod look?
I would imagine that if you are going for such an image, you would have to ditch most of your comfortable choices of weekend 'kick-around' clothes for better cut cloth and shoes.
Nothing spoils the image like sneakers and a pocket t-shirt on the driver of such a detailed vehicle.
Sure, Jim, shoot for what you'd like! The Pulse cockpit is a hot house in mid-summer anyways.

Eldon---flat black street hot rod is exactly the look !
But !! w/ chrome wheels. just a wee bit 'a bling.
early hot rodders could only afford the flat black primer ! was hell to keep lookin good tho. that is reason for flat clearcoat--- tuff to do right tho. |

From what I can research from factory records, about 5 vehicles left the factory painted Black:
#175, #176, #183, #200, #291,
This picture is suppose to be Hank Wilgus with a black Pulse with gold striping at Ed Butcher's farm where the later Pulses were built.
