Default 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.
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?
