Put a set of Competion Resins 60's Pirelli Nostalgic front tires and wheels on it. They're Firestones.

Putting in the windshields and exhaust pipes. Did you make that Mexican blanket? That looks much better than the ones I did on my beetle. |

Sty, I ordered this rug from Hoppin Hydros Low Ridder Accessories. ( Item #125 Small Lowrider Show Display Rug ) The other seat cover was cut from a swatch of Mexican fabric and glued in place with Elmer's white glue.    Installed the gear shifter, steering wheel, modified engine clearance on the hood side covers, installed radius rods, etc. |

Calling this one finished. This build challenged me and tested my skills and comfort zone. Perhaps that is why it has taken so long to complete. Sometimes, good ideas aren't always good ideas.  Finished photos, later. |

Enjoyed trying out the oil wash. It offers a lot of possibilities, like going warmer or cooler.
