Latest Pics
I know it doesn't look like it from the pics, but the chassis really is ready to receive the body.
The whitewall tires came from Coker Tire and are the original 5.60-15 bias ply tire type and size from 1963 (though it's unclear if the wide whitewall was an option back then). We opted for the bias ply because they stand taller than radials and I wanted the bug to sit right and have that original look and feel to it. Aren't they hot lookin'?
Lane picked up the rims from the paint shop today. Carlos did a fantastic job. Once again, not quite the original paint scheme that I wanted, but due to the inability to find the right color and with the whitewalls being involved, we switched it around a bit. I love them.
