The BMW 507 Ultimate Build Thread!!!

Dave, were the carpet edges trimmed with vinyl on original cars? If so, are you going to have that done? Maybe you cannot even see the edges when everything is installed.

I can't help but wonder what will happen to this car when it's finished. You have sold the other cars that you worked so hard on. Will the same thing happen to this one?

They’re almost identical looking steering wheels, Bill. I guess stylish at the time. It’ll work but when the original comes in I’ll install that. The more correct parts the better, but it’s always good to have options.

Rick, yes, they had binding around all the edges. I’ll have that on mine in dark blue. Here’s a picture of an unrestored 507 with its carpet style. Right now, those pieces I cut are just laying in place. The tunnel will be flush with the floor and the floor pieces will cover that where it joins up and the binding on the floor pieces will clean it all up.



Fear not, Freddie!! This one goes nowhere!! The only way this would leave would be a very big check with a lot of zeros and commas. It would have to be a life changing offer, I can assure you. I can always restore another anything, but I’m only making something from nothing once!

Cheers
Dave
