    Use TWO caps..one stock...one bullet. Change it like a woman changes her mind...whenever you want!

    love where this is going and want to see it completed, fantastic color combo and my vote would be for the original steering wheel cover, just keep at it and keep us updated

    You definitely picked an amazing shade of green. Looks amazing so far - now get the rest of the car painted so I can see it finished. :)

    If the center cap of the wheel is just clipped in place you should prepare both: the bullet and the original cap so you can swap whenever you feel like it. I prefer the original center cap but that bullet doesn't fall back far behind...

    Amazing built! I really like it.

    I don't blame ya for wanting to get it done. It'll be worth the wait, though! You've inspired me to get going on my 55 Buick.
