Too bad you can’t keep both. I’m sure we ALL wish we had the same dilemma!I agree, the wire wheels and two tone paint scheme make the original a real head turner.It sounds like the BCW is in super shape, and you’d not have any trouble finding a buyer.If you sold it, you can use the $$$ for the original.

The seats look good.
Nice thinking outside the box. Did you know they would work, or did you just “wing it” for the fit?Did your car have seats before?How are you going to attach them to the rest of the car?I take it you’re going to finish the rest of the interior in black?Keep sending pics!

I agree, nice job all the way around.
What did you do with the radio? Mine was kaput, so I took it out, made a small wooden box mounted it to the back of the dash, made a door and chromed around the edge, like you did, but I think yours came out nicer than mine. Where did you get the chrome trim for the edge? I used some from my local DIY auto…[Read more]
