Post subject:  1967 Beetle
I have been working on this project intermittently the last few years, obtained this one owner 67 running and driving. I bought this car as I could not obtain Norris McPherson's car at the time. Took apart and started to build, and placed on the back burned as I obtained Norris's car last year. Well started and must finish, and hope to have twins in the garage.

She's frame off, new pans, lowered and narrowed, painted in original LA 633 blue base coat clear coat, me and my son just finished re-wiring the car, next hurdle in Headliner, interior is Oatmeal color Tweed TMI

Tommie Smith I need your help test firing the engine before she goes in

Gotta choose the wheels as I cant make the decision, I have the following sets

Option 1 Powdered Coated stock 67 wheels (beige) with re-hooped 6's in the back
Option 2 South African sprints
Option 3 Black 5 spokes currently on car
Option 4 Chrome 5 spokes on the shelf

Any thoughts

Hoarder is a harsh word, more like a collector, aficionado, gatherer or accumulator :thumbs:

Just my opinion Brian but non of the above at all. Use your other set of BRM,s or a new set of 4 1/2 front and deep 6.s in the rear alloys chromed with black detailed centers.

I suppose it depends on what kind of "look" you're going for too.
If you're going for Cal Look, then you can't go wrong with a set of BRMs, but if its more resto-mod then the SA Sprints.

BTW, to me, that clean '67 is just begging to become a Cal Looker. Drop the nose, 135's up front, 215's in back, and a 200+ hp IDA motor and you'll be set :dance:
