They do, Tim. Those were Ridge knock off wheels. There were three wheels offered. Two bolt on steelies and the Ridge knock offs. An original set of those just sold through a private sale for $55,000

Back home. More updates this week!

Cheers
Dave

Whoops! Fat fingers Correct, Bill. Common to vintage Porsche as well.

Home from the trip. Time to postulate, fabricate, and procreate so I can have a hand around here!

Cheers
Dave

Moving forward, motor and transmission are bolted in place. The transmission crossmember is bolted in place with recessed nuts (never a good thing!) that allow the crossmember to be removed if needed. I'll finish weld the rest when I strip the car back down.

I finished the steering wheel hub modification to allow the wheel to sit flush on the column. This 18" wheel is very similar to the 507 wheel and once I add the horn ring and reliefs, should be an almost perfect match.

Dash bolted in place. Now that the column is in again I can finish the steering linkage and the car will be able to roll and steer!! Might have to pull it out to get some better pics.

More to come
Cheers

Alrighty, moving forward! I got the door jamb pretty much roughed in along with the rocker. The hinges are mounted and I’ll be bolting them in tomorrow. Today I made the driver’s door by forming the skin on the wheel and then building the inner structure. I need to order the lock and striker setup I’ll be using so I can the build the inner door structure and striker support on the B-pillar.

I test mounted the seat and it looks like I should be able to fit a driver that’s at maximum 6’5” with no problem. This is just in case Charley decides to drive it after I’m done with the build. It should fit drivers from Grady to Charley and everywhere in between

I’ll see how this photo posting goes before I shoot more off. My phone went into eternal startup mode and I lost everything. Using a backup phone along with the
Ipad for photo posting ugh!!!

Thanks, Freddie. I’m pretty excited it’s all coming together. Tickles me to death to walk out to the shop and see my dream car staring back at me. Even more exciting knowing I’ve made every single part of it!

Next Tuesday I head to Philly to get more pics of the real deal for reference and meet the owners. I’m excited to see what their blue one above in the previous posts will sell for.

I’m glad I’m not boring you all with my updates.

Cheers
Dave

Big update today! I have a functioning door!!!

More to come on the fabrication and details. Oh, and excuse the last twenty seconds sounding like Charlie Brown's teacher. The microphone was accidentally covered up by the film crew.

But don't worry, I didn't say anything worthwhile anyway. I never do!

Cheers
Dave
