Sitting on a spare chassis while the original one is getting restored.going to end up going with black spokes,polished lips and knock off caps.staying type1 power plant.been working on wiring (all new grounds,new headlight harness that will be relayed).hopefully later this year body will go in for work
Oh and going pre 68 dash look.well I’m using type3 short knobs,keeping upper vents (will get euro vents),fresh air system and welding a post 68 rear to pre 68 glovebox door so it has correct curves and will get dash grill without fuel gauge hole
