Just caught sight of this build. Looking very nice Sir. You must be getting close to the finish line. At least that's the way it looks from here.

Great color choice BTW.
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...

Oy.... at least they’re not those God awful 2 piece hard vinyl tires from the 70s early 80s.

Well if the wheels and tires had been molded separately it may have been ok but they're not. I'm not happy with the seats. I'm going to repaint and use some seat pattern decals I have.
