And the final picture is one showing the new white wall radials installed including the spare.  I have had her at 83+mph and it still drives like a dream with these radials.  I got the tires from Coker Tires in TN…kinda expensive, but the car now turns heads everywhere it goes (I was told the tires were one of the reasons the Ad Agency wanted th…[Read more]

Here’s a picture of the dash with the glove box door opened to show the stereo & heater controls hidden behind it. I built in a magnetic catch into the dash so the door closes flush, but it is easy to open to adjust the radio while keeping one hand on the wheel driving.

This is the “work” in progress!  What a nightmare to figure out the re-wiring without a valid diagram…lots of trial by error by blowing fuses and bulbs…LOL  I decided to install courtesy lights in the footwells so they go on whenever either door is opened…nice touch for night use.

Notice the way the hood opens up…no outside Jeep type hinges like other kits have which are dead giveaways to kit formats.  This is very…[Read more]

Here’s a side view with the top up!  It’s a 1985 FACTORY built BCW using new chevy chevette components when built.

Thanks.  I am redoing the dash presently, replacing the pitted chrome parts as well.  Do you know where I can get a new top for it?  I contacted Tumacs who made them, but they no longer have the templates for the BCW.

Picked this gem up on ebay for $3995….sweet ride.
