I always felt my Carribean Teal 67 had a good looking stance. Working on giving the right look to my chop too.

Thanks guy's, much appreciated. A new motor is being built as we speak. My original 2303cc, with a E125 cam on a 106LC, and a set of JD heads, 42X37, and of course, IDA's. Should be fun on the street. My 2303cc in the car now will be getting refreshed with a new set of heads from Fred Simpson (Performance Tech.), will go back in next year.

Part of the build of my car I had help from my buddy Randy (Kaferdog). Giving credit where credit is due.

Thanks Fab, I think so too, kinda nice to switch off once in awhile. Was thinking of selling them, have them posted on the Samba, was going to get the Flat4 Alloys like what Dustin has on his 69', I like the look, but will be putting a stock width beam back in. BUT...if they don't sell, I will keep them and on the car with the beam that's in now.

Lookin' good Ted.
Also really like the antenna delete, factory style.
Stance is just right. Maybe detail the caps? That's it! LOL
Enjoy the day, my friend!

Thanks Tom, Nico. Tom , was thinking the samething on the caps. I have a spare unpolished cap to practice on, just need to do it. Just been busy with the new job working 6 days a week.

Thanks to all for the kind words.

What happened to slammed cal-look?

Seriously, I don't like resto cal, I like cal-look. But low is just so much more fun!

Anyway, soon for sale!

Thankfully, those two terms will never belong together. It's either one or the other.
