Stunning car..... I have to admit that I miss the scenery and the cool cars. I've decided that there is no where like SA to take great pictures!
Glad there's no damage, brings back the memory of Mo losing a wheel, on only her second trip out. After that I bought a torque wrench and now I check them all the time!

Re : powder coating on rims.
Yes the powder coating does become powder and the nuts will be loose. Best to grind away the coating under where the nuts will contact the rim.

Re: my ol '66
I don't often say this about early Beetles, but wow! Yours is really really cool. And much nicer than an Oval
