It's had black welting for many years so I'll probably leave it that way although I'll keep my eyes open for the proper colored welting and running board covers just in case I decide to change.

That would be cool if you end up locating those. I've yet to see a Savanna Cal Looker with those... so it be unique, in a sense. |

They list Panama Beige for the welting which I think is too dark and sand beige for the running board which may be ok I'll have to check |

Hehehe... probably paid too much for it but it was #2 on list of plate frames; 1. Ala Moana VW because so many DKK cars ran them... although mine never did. I always ran one of those black plastic Wink frames cause I could get them from work for next to nothing. 2. Chick Iverson VW because that dealer that got most of my OE parts money. It was close enough to my house and it was so nice driving to the beach in my '67. I'd always drive around the Back Bay on the way back home. Commonwealth was closer but driving through downtown Santa Ana wasn't near the experience. 3. Renfree VW. If Iverson didn't have it, I went to Renfree.  |

So Rick, let's put the cart before the horse and start talking interior... LOL... well we're quite a ways away from that. Honestly, it's never been a priority for me. I really like the look and feel of Fabs '67... I'd like to do something along those lines. Simple, understated and functional. I think when you have someone with talent, you should give them a pretty free reign and let them use their creativity. |

Mr. Gabbard has been vacationing in So Cal since before The Classic so he hasn't had much of a chance to do anything.,

Well this isn't the update I wanted to give.  It's become apparent over the past few weeks but more over the past few days that the way I wanted to pursue this build is not going to happen. There comes a time after pounding your head into the wall enough times that you realize that you're not getting anywhere and it becomes time to stop. All I'm doing is pissing away my limited funds and my car is not getting any closer to completion. I'm not sure which way I'm heading but right now everything is on hold. I need to step back a develop a new way to head with this project because clearly the present one is not feasible. Thanks to everyone who has tried to help me find a 1/4 panel. It means a lot to me that you took time to try to help. Rick |

DAMN!!That is so very close. I've found that the one i was looking for is a 111-801-021 A and it looks like this one marked 111-801-021 AE. It looks like this one doesn't have the holes for the trim... maybe that accounts for the different suffix on the part number. OH Sarge?? PM sent!

If you have the VIN of the parts you are looking for you can send them an e-mail in english, they will tell you if they have this part or not (there's the english translation for the website on the top of the page). |

Rick, it looks like its got the recess for the later bumpers, just not the bracket on the outside. I suspect that the later revision is to add that in place. I think I said somewhere else that it shouldnt be too hard for a good body guy to re-make that section to look more original though. Good luck and DON'T GIVE UP! |

Well we're kind of in a holding pattern right now.
Looking at some other options to see what else can be done.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning to pickup the car and bring it home.
Thanks Gary and Zach for your help.
