63RACER, that's one nice looking car. Really like the running boards and amber front turn indicators. I'm guessing that the car was a U.S. model? Or was it simply drilled for U.S. bumpers at some point?

Rudge wheels would look cool on an early car! 

Of course they're next to impossible to find, and even repros (pictured) are expen$ive Shocked

In a perfect world, I'd have late 6" Fuchs 911 wheels on the back and 5.5" ones on the front, finished the exact way they came from the factory with black lugs, along with four wheel discs. Till then, I can still dream.

I currently have 3 sets available to me: detailed Flat4 BRMs, wide-5 Ercos, and polished 5-spokes.
Unfortunately, I've always admired and wanted a set of Fuchs, polished lip and spokes, black insets .... that's what I'd like. Roll Eyes
All the pics seen here ... they're just awesome!

Car looks good, Ted. Do you have a home for the late 6" alloys, already? Like your Bus?

Loving this Zach,

Did you do anything to it lately?

Seriously!? Cheesy I decided that I fucked up that body a bit too much when I rolled it on it's side years ago Cry Even after I swapped the roof, I knew it just was never going to be perfect again- especially when I plan to have so much of the interior metal painted and shiney. So... I got AssHull's old '67 body with the haggard front end. I'll swap the front metal from this car on to that, as well as the parcel shelf and whatnot. I'll use my old pan so legally it will be the same car Wink Been a bit tied up with AssHull's '67 sunroof at the moment, but I plan to start work on my chassis once his is done. New plans include a 2" trans raise and a torsion narrowing of about 30mm on each side Smiley

I don't know, it seems. They were for sale in a swap meet with a bunch of vw wheels.
