 |
|
In june this year I sold my old '69
to buy a 58 ragtop!
Beeing a european car (i'm from Holland) it
still has the UBER-COOL semaphores!
It's in pretty nice shape, some bondo-cracks in
the rear quarters and door bottoms and a worn out interior
but it mostly needs mechanics.
2" narrowed beam and all new brake set-up.
Blasted and painted 4" wide steellies
and remover the front indicators by welding up the holes,
smoothing them out and do a bit of paint-blending with a rattlecan!!
Not bad huh?
Got the semaphores working after fixing and painting the switch,
pulling some new wirers and cleaning and rewirering the semaphores.
I'm also gonna install a grey vinyl with white piping TMI interior, new carpet kit, new brakes in the back, do a gearbox swap, change the taillights to the correct small type and lot's of other small things.

NICE! I always love the black ragtop cars, especially yours. Nice stance with the lowering also. Keep up the work and post more pics as you update.
