I just love the job you’ve done on this. I only wish I could find the time to work on my 64 and when I do it turns out half as nice as yours.

Excellent work. And nice and clean. No accessories to clutter it up.... Less is more.

Do you mind telling me about the interior seat coverings and what supplier you used?

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL car! This is what a custom VW should look like! Clean, with original lines and interior is not cluttered up with a bunch of accessories.

I am working on a 67 and this is exactly the look I am trying to achieve.

Awesome job!
Thank you for posting this thread.

Hey thanks again for the likes!! Very Happy
My goal was keep interior and exterior completely stock with a suddle twist. All the pan, suspension, brakes, motor and trans updated to be as cozy as a bug can get. Also with stainless nuts and bolts and most of hardware powder coated it will last for another 100 yrs!! I just hope my kids can keep it nice and in the family to pass on to their kids.
