Title: keep it late, or fake us spec67?? Post by: beetletom on December 01, 2008, 12:47:34 pm my car is being welded in a few weeks, but really can't decide on what way to go...
i got a 67 decklid, pre 67 front clip, early rear wings, early bonnet... but it will never be a true 67! or buy a correct post 68 front clip, and ive already got all the late panels... Title: Re: keep it late, or fake us spec67?? Post by: roland on December 01, 2008, 12:50:14 pm dude, please... ::)

Post by: streetvw on December 01, 2008, 13:46:50 pm IMHO keep it late I've done the whole wrongun thing and it could always be picked out (and pointed out by thoose who know ::) ) so better off keeping it late.
Anyway late models rock (unless it's an 02/03 ;) ) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/streetvw/yellalooker.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/streetvw/112309.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/streetvw/112307.jpg) Title: Re: keep it late, or fake us spec67?? Post by: benssp on December 01, 2008, 15:52:29 pm I'd say, if you haven't started the project, find yourself a '67 to start with. I did not follow my own advice and am sticking with my 69/ pseudo 67 ;D

Post by: Zach Gomulka on December 01, 2008, 20:53:22 pm we need more cool late models instead of fake 67's ;) Easy to say for a guy with a proper '67 ;) ;D Title: Re: keep it late, or fake us spec67??

oi watch out, i know of a cool 03' ;) think burnham ;) Title: Re: keep it late, or fake us spec67?? Post by: wolfswest on December 01, 2008, 21:25:16 pm I have a 72 with a pre 67 look and yes, people that know can tell by little things it's fake... Nobody appreciates it and a late looker is appreciated nowadays so I wouldn't fake it if I was you. I spend my last $ on my fake project and it remains a piece of shit... :-\

Title: Re: keep it late, or fake us spec67?? Post by: Harry/FDK on December 01, 2008, 22:01:49 pm I didn't "reweld" the car and i'm happy just renewing the front fenders. Go LATE.
Title: Re: keep it late, or fake us spec67?? Post by: Bathtub57 on December 02, 2008, 15:13:24 pm Late mate - check Fastbrits post of Famous Picture from another angle for inspiration or verification that late models are cool when done properly.
Title: Re: keep it late, or fake us spec67?? Post by: Neil Davies on December 02, 2008, 16:45:19 pm I am also guilty of making a wrong'un. My first car - a September '67-built, '68-model - was turned into a US-spec '67 look-a-like 10 years ago. If I could do it all over again, I'd have kept it late and also restored the proper '67 I broke as a parts donor for it!
The '70's bug I've just finished had a semi-W lid, long rear valance, sloping headlamps, blade bumpers etc., but I put it right! :D Keep it late Tom, or move it on and buy a real '67. |
