Maybe one NEEDS to wear driving gloves to shift. I don't think the shift knob would feel that comfortable.

I'm speechless... I guess I do need to ask, How many chewbaccas were injured to produce the seat covers. Sad, very sad.

I won't knock it because I don't have the skills to do it. (Not that I'd WANT to! LoL) The fit and finish is quite good and there are a LOT of hours in the carving of that dash and cockpit surround. To each their own, just not my cup of tea as it were.

It would make me nervous just to sit in it...

They certainly liked playing with wood, and apparently, are quite good at it too!

When I still lived in San Francisco (late 70s) I came home one day and saw a Bugeye parked in front of my house. It was unique in that it had a trunklid (no exposed hinges and a typical Spridget style "T" handle). But that wasn't what really set it apart; it had the complete wood dash from a Jaguar 3.8-type sedan. Gorgeous job (top was off, so I could look close) and the only obvious difference was that the center section (console area) had been abreviated to fit the narrower cockpit.

I kept going back out to check, hoping to meet the owner, but he slipped away undetected. I never found out who he was, who he was visiting, and never saw the car again. The car was BRG, and I'm thinking the interior was tan, but I'm not sure about that...

yes,yes,yes, i read about this guy who during a parade in nome alaska ran a stop sign plowing into and killing the maskot musk ox, oh the humanity!! ...its true there is no accounting for taste, and what the heck is that thing sticking out of the very center of the dash?, one stick shift isnt enough?
