There's jus' somethin' so . . . absolutely "proper" about wood n' leather in a roadster.
One coat'a sealer'z gonna fall by the wayside pretty quickly though Dude, considerin' how often our hands r' wrestlin' with n' massagin' the shift knob. Once that one coat'a sealer fails, sweat n' our natural body oils will darken the parts that have worn thin.
Jus' a suggestion, but a few coats'a sealer might be a safer way'da go.
'Looks purdy.
Be well.
