It's a grayish white color....? Not really sure of the specific name.

Nice looking ride.

Thanks garomy. I will probably have to take you up on that Razz

Do you work on base? My dad has a blue '68 that he zips around in on base.

Here's another from today. Merry Christmas everybody santa

Regardless of the color, it's a good looking Vdub. Welcome to the forums.

I got chance to do a photo shoot with my '65 the other day. Went along HWY 49 through Byron to get these. Enjoy.

sick ride dude!

by SkyDawg on Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:02 am

Thanks Cambur. There are some kinks to work out but it's drivable and I am happy about that. I have the rear bumper and haven't taken the time to put it back on. And there is a big rust spot on the back on the left that you can see from the pics. Hopefully one day that will be cut out and a new piece welded in...but that is on the bottom of the to-do list Razz

My suspension set up is:
Front: 6" Narrowed beam 2.5 drop spindles 145/65 15" BRMs
Rear: 2 outer splines, notched plates, and 205/65 15" BRMs

The back could go down one more spline. That is for a later date tho.
