I have so much paperwork and so many people to do the hard work, like the seats where custom, for the clone i need someone to make the wheels, they are 78 oldsmobile cutlass wheels with the centers cut out and vw centers welded in to give it the deep dish look. Lots of time will go into this car. Its the 1 car i have wanted since i was little. + i think it would be a huge hit driving it around town. ---

Thats a cool plan. I have a lot of little bits and pieces for these cars, used new and NOS stored away. I had a '65 project you would have loved, but I sold it to a guy in Buffalo a few years back. I haven’t seen it around since but I think the guy is still around- you can always message Maineak1970 on Samba to see if by chance it’s for sale.
