My '67 project- pictures!
Zach Gomulka:
I didnt want to keep jack anyone elses thread, so I thought I start my own. Here are some of the pieces I have for my '67 project. It will be street "legal", run on pump gas, and hopefully be competitive in Super Gas (11.90 index).
I have 2 motors planned for the car: The first is a Treuhaft 1835cc; NOS 92mm NPR pistons, 041 heads, Engle 110 cam, and Kadrons with Mohr velocity stacks. It will use Treuhaft deep sump, valve covers, distributor, manifolds, NOS dry sump pump, and a power pulley- if I can ever find one!
The second will be a Race-Trim 2276cc. This is the motor I want to run 11.90's with. The internals will be modern day technology, but it will look straight up old school on the outside. It will run Race-Trim deep sump, early valve covers, a "special" 1 quart capacity breather box, IDA manifolds (Im lending the IDAs out to a friend right now!), dry sump pulley, bell crank linkage, Bosch 010 distributor with Pertronix, and a CB dry sump pump with a Race-Trim cover- if I can ever find one!
More coming soon....

Exterior wise, Im thinking that I will make a copy of the Herrod Helper in aluminium, and anodize it gold (just like the CMS wheels that are planned for race only duty). The tail lights are genuine amber/red units with matching numbers (probably the standard for europeans!), SB12 headlight rings, a NOS '67 only non locking passenger side door handle, a vintage '66 number plate (correct for my '67) surrounded by a plate frame from the VW dealership that used to do business in my hometown of Prescott, Arizona. The aluminium t-bars were machined and polished by a friend, Tim Tesnow and they feature hex uprights that are cut at the same angle as the bracket. They are beautifully welded by Sil Modesti- it would be a sin to polish out those welds!
The M&H DOTs will be taken back off the Cosmics, so that they may be cut apart, with the backsides switched, so I end up with two 4.5"s for the front, and two 6.5"s for the rear (Mark Herberts idea!). 145s will go up front. :)
Gregor/DFL:
Hi!
Very impressing parts collection. Looking forward to see images of your car put together! Especially the Treuhaft stuff is very hard to find...for Europeans like me itīs maybe even more complicated to spot Treuhaft stuff.
Diederick/DVK:
Nice one Zach! Keeping the 67 projects up :)
Sounds very very promising, you're not however gonna build that FK7 project engine? ;)
What did you mean with the hex uprights on the t-bars? what are those?
Cheers!

Zach Gomulka:
I need another car for that engine ;)
Hex uprights are how some of the t-bars were made back in the day, instead of round stock, they use hexagonal stock (six sided) for the vertical portion- the top of the "T"
