Post pictures of your favorite 67 looker !!!
Steve67:
great collection of 67 beetles !!
I completed the US look on my 67 with new bumpers
by the way, if anybody is searching for a 67 ragtop standard model project, this seems to be the real deal (although it has a lot wrong parts on it):

Hi Steve
The riviera's what tire's do They have and do you have long or short axle's and narrowed beam ?
Steve67:
I run 145/80 F560 Firestones in the front and 185/80 Vredestein Sprint Classic in the back.
The front beam is narrowed by around 2 cm per side. I have the long axles with 40mm brake drums (shortened on the outside to fit the 67 axle) in the back. The fit in the back is very tight and I have some rubbing issues. I am planning to modifiy the drums to get some more clearance. The brake pad contact area is much wider than the pads, so that should be possible.

Car looks great! But why sacrifice braking? Swap to short axles.
