Alan, that sounds great on the shifter bracket. I was going to try to make a boot out of a sheet of vinyl or leather but maybe now I can even use the stock piece from Hurst.

The dash is a solid piece of engine-turned aluminum. It is another nice aspect of the car for which I can take no credit. The original owner made a template of the dash and sent it to a company in Oklahoma, I believe. They fabricated it, cut out the gauge holes, and did the engine-turned finish. All I've done was to clear coat it and try not to scratch it when installing it and the gauges.

I have the name and address of the company at home if you would like it. Just let me know. I recall the seller said they charged something like $400-500 for it.

I have no idea where Chuck was getting his seats. I guess I thought he made them like most everything else on the car. I would suggest contacting Glenn Garrett, who now builds and sells the Beck 550 Spyders. I think they use the same seat so Glenn can probably help you out. I'm going to post this and if I can dig up his number I'll edit the post with it.

Bob

Edit: The number I have for Glenn is 866-842-2325--
