Title: My new 67 project! Post by: Matt Tobias on May 18, 2014, 10:08:21 am Well I picked this up off of Craigslist just the other day in Tempe AZ. Its in pretty good shape with just a couple of small rust spots that need to be fixed, some dents worked out, a few aftermarket panels replaced(hood, front fenders) with good german metal, and my 2276 thrown in place of the 1600 (emissions) motor thats in there now.
Then its on to dechroming and cal-looking the hell out of it!

Zach G, this car is getting the german front fenders I bought from you at the swap a while back. Title: Re: My new 67 project! Post by: Larry S on May 18, 2014, 12:17:46 pm Good luck, looks like a good base. It's hard to beat a 67. I like the look of one piece windows but struggled to keep them working correctly in my oval i had, the regulators availble today are junk.

Title: Re: My new 67 project! Post by: speedwell on December 19, 2014, 19:53:27 pm sorry to say that , but not the best wheels choice in my opinion(just my opinion ;))
just my 2 cents Title: Re: My new 67 project! Post by: Matt Tobias on December 20, 2014, 05:02:32 am In my opinion I think they look awesome! Im definitely stoked on them.
Title: Re: My new 67 project! Post by: Neil Davies on December 20, 2014, 10:08:06 am Fabs and I agree on most things but not this - I think the wheels look amazing on this one! They do suit big window cars.
Title: Re: My new 67 project! Post by: Matt Tobias on April 05, 2015, 02:46:52 am Well Im finally back to doing some work on the bug.
At Bugorama I picked up a new hood, two 67 decklids and a 4tuned 1 5/8 merged header. The hood needed some work. (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/tobiism/67%20project/20150404_155159_zps3g8adjdg.jpg) (http://s12.photobucket.com/user/tobiism/media/67%20project/20150404_155159_zps3g8adjdg.jpg.html) (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/tobiism/67%20project/2613_zps0iidvlcb.jpeg) (http://s12.photobucket.com/user/tobiism/media/67%20project/2613_zps0iidvlcb.jpeg.html) (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/tobiism/67%20project/2617_zpstmzlhjbi.jpeg) (http://s12.photobucket.com/user/tobiism/media/67%20project/2617_zpstmzlhjbi.jpeg.html) (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/tobiism/67%20project/2615_zpsjt5hevgd.jpeg) (http://s12.photobucket.com/user/tobiism/media/67%20project/2615_zpsjt5hevgd.jpeg.html) So I have two hoods. One was in a front end collision and the one I picked up has rust issues. So Im going to take the two hoods and make one good one.
