Welcome, indeed nice project. Colours do seem rather special, are they modern colours like Jaap is suggesting? Or an old equivalent?

Keep us posted!

thanks for the kind words guys..
im more than likely going to tackle narrowing the beam this weekend. i was thinking about going with a 6 inch narrow. Does anyone have pros/cons of going with that much of narrow?

A black steering wheel, wasn't that a one year only kind of deal? 1963? I had a 64 with a light tan steering wheel.

Other than that, looks like a nice project! I think your new color combo is going to look great!

What a gem

I missed out on buying my own gem that was round the corner from my work and it was in my price range too

Good Luck with the resto Blake

Cons: everybody AND their moms do narrows nowadays

talked with the body shop (401restos.com) and the car is going in for paint in 2 weeks. They also have a 63 rag that they are cutting up and grafting into my bug. picked up these wheels, inspired by the machinist on here and will be going for the same look.










when done i can only hope they turn out as well as his were done.

Nice project!
But 6 inch narrowing with these wheels, I can't imagine it will fit.
When can we see new pictures
