Mine too Gary. So cool, you're always thinking outside the box man. Car has a nice shine to it also. What grit paper and Wax did you use?

Awesomeness!

Thanks!

Believe it or not I used a 200 then a 320. I never went any finer than the 320 and I used Turtle wax med compound to buff with then a quick polish with Turtle wax. I did all the sanding and Jason did all the buffing except the hood and fender I did.

Dude that is a really neat idea! The end result looks very cool!

cool gary, what color would you call that now a sandy brown.

Looks like the logo also came out good

by aircooledaddicts Mon Jan 21, 2013 9:21 pm

Thanks guys! I'm real happy with the way it turned out and I love having the logo on the side. People just love it...especially kids Smile

I want to put some stock wheels back on it in 4.5 & 5.5 done in red. Just want to get more of that "hot rod/ rat rod" look and I think red wheels will do it.

I got some 5.5 stock wheels i will sell they are brand new

I've got a deal on a set I'm trying to trade for right now. If it doesn't work out I'll let you know.

Raised the rear up one inner spline today. Now she has that rake I love and the ride is great!

Looks good! Cool

That looks close to the stance on my 71. I think the later models look better with a little rake.....

Thanks Digger

Great looking car! Smile

Looks good actually think you should drop the front another 1/2 inch so the rope is closer to the pavement......... Very Happy

I like her. Really like those decals too.

by 67vdub Sun Mar 17, 2013 11:05 pm

Over all a great looking dub👍.

by aircooledaddicts Sun Mar 17, 2013 11:54 pm

Thanks everybody
I would like it a little lower in the front but thats as low as she will go with this beam. Will probably change beams again eventually
