Type 1 -68: Old, Low & Damn Slow. Norwegian Project
Hi guys,
I wanted to share my project with you all :) This is a short version of my ongoing project so far... This is my second Air Ride project. I think you all remember my old project ;) So.. whats happening now? Well early last year I came over a very good 1968. The only rust I found was around the jackmounts. :D But the enginebay didnt look to good :( FIRE! After some hours work the engine looked a bit better and it worked like a charm. This season I am going to use this engine but I have planned to build a new one next winter. This is the car BEFORE I started my air ride project. So.. whats the plan? Primer & Chrome! I am going for a RESTO/ROD look. The body is going to be painted with gray primer. The wheels will be painted with red primer....and all the chrome --> Smoothie hubcabs, fender trim, mouldings, bumpers etc. Wheels? 4,5" steel in front and 8" widen steel in the rear. Tires? 135 in front and 185/60 in the rear. Whats happend so far? Two boxes with "joy" from Pete :) Bodylift in November: Then the fun started :) Narrowing my beam 4": Sandblasting: Rear mounts: Fixing the only rust :D Thats the short version. Now I`ll keep this thread up to date :D |
Shaving :)
Tonight I started shaving the front fenders and doors. Finished :) I am going to install door poppers so let`s shave some more ;) It took some time to make the sheetmetal fit perfectly, but it turned out pretty good. Welding finished. One door to go. |
