John, your rebuild on the hinges are "spot on!" Students had a bunch of trouble lining up the doors, but it was not a hinge problem. Those hinges are sweet.  How much will you charge to do the hinges for my '65 Ghia?

The 1914 is in
The Weber 40's will require shorty air cleaners, or the removal of the deck lid springs 
I will keep you posted as we progress.

Waiting on side window rubber and trim to hold on the headliner. Interior sound pad is almost done too.
Hope our friends that are sending parts to help us finish come through soon.

The car has been block sanded at least 5 times and now we have to do it again - now with 1500 grit sandpaper. All the paint is on and it looks great!
More pics as we finish the polish job and put it together.

The car looks gorgeous but I'm kind of confused. It doesn't look like a '68. The dash is different and there's no fuel flap on the passenger side fender. The '68 had a 3 3/8" speedo with the smaller fuel gauge and clock on each side.

A new early style gas tank was installed. Sherwin-Williams base and clear coat. Rechromed stock bumpers, all stock trim is new, repolished, or rechromed, all rubber is new. |
