The engine is prepped and ready to go in...
This is the side panel inserts I will be going with... This is just a test panel to see if I was going to like it. I most definitely do!

I absolutely love your steering wheel. I'm not sure anyone around my area knows how to do that. Make take a stab at it myself.

Its a lot easier than it looks YouBugMe58. Get your upholstery guy to sew up the a wheel cover then run a top stitch around both outside edges. from there all you have to do is lace it together with the same or contrasting thread. |

Nice
