Hey, Dave. I was planning to use Will Rogers' CT Alloy repops. Lightest wheel you can easily find. I had them on the Van Tech and liked them.
The seat is the late Carl Weakley's Cheetah seat repop, so the upholstery ought to fit fine. Sonny is in Mesa, AZ. He upholsters seats for Dean and Joe Kanocz classic and custom cars. He did my seat and Pruit Ginsberg's as well. Don't know if he saved the pattern. These two ran Pruit and I $275, but I imagine he did them as a favor to Dean. I sketched the shape of the padding stitching by hand, and he matched it nicely. The hard thing is to get a drawstring upholstery to fit under the seat lip well. I am going to add some 1/2" wide Velcro under the lip on the seat sides. The seats are natural glass color, but Dean urethaned them in black. I will bolt the seat down this weekend to see if the welding on the struts still fit. My back was starting to hurt from bending down today. Ted
