I'll be keeping most of it... much to the disappointment of my wife  Wink

The wheels for the '67 haven't been decided. I have lots of choices...

It's great to get the Deeks together though they pissed me off when I promised them lunch and they ate on there own!  Angry  Wink

Hey, I was asking about that camber compensator, yesterday. Let me know if you'd like to part with that, Rick.

Interesting side note for Cal Look history's sake... the blue '67 in the background was sprayed by Becker's Bug House. The owner was there getting a quote for a new paint job. Good to see these old cars getting some love.

They're the same ones. You can't see in the picture but they had a lot of small dents (and one baseball sized one!) plus I wanted to fill in the signals  Wink

Now they're arrow straight!

So far the only non original sheet metal on the car will be the apron, the 1/4 panel and the hood. Everything else will be the same stuff that was on the car when in left Wolfsburg!  Smiley
