    Original wheels were steel, I think 13" on back and 12" on the front. They might be at my parents home. If I could find them they'd be free other than shipping.

    seats

    When you find a set of seats that fit can you post details on them? Its a tight squeeze and you might find it tough to get seats that fit. Also if you fit a base frame can you give its details too?

    mirror

    Nice job, what car did you take them from before modifying or are they based on the original? You could have a few orders if you wanted to mass produce these!
