I've really enjoyed driving Klaus in stock form for the last year or so but it is now time for a little show and a lot more Go! The plan is for any mods that will be done to be easily undone. Nothing original wil be cut or modified, the motor will be dropped out and replaced, even the instruments are installed in a way that fits directly into the radio opening. ImageImageImageImageImage

I'm going for a vintage spped look and because of the dropped spindles the 356 Repro 4.5 j wheels up front would not work so I had to build a narrowed front end, now she sits just right and I am busy with the new motor. ImageImageImageImageImageImage

Thank you sir, yes I did, used with a very tiny bit of matting agent to match the old paint.

Thanks. Was there no undesirable reaction with the original paint?
