    Sweet machine.  What was involved with converting the stock "standard" upholstery to "deluxe"?  Different or same foam?  Just the covers?

    I had to replace the foam too. I was going to do that anyway, but if I remember correctly, the foam for the leather covers is a little different than the standard.

        It's going to be really hard to keep the smile off your face while driving that one. It is going to get a lot of attention going down the road. Great looking car.   :2thumbs:
