kod38 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I just did the body for this gunze sangyo 56 beetle and mocked it up. I do not have the chassis done so the rear has way to much camber. It will sit as low as possible and will have a similar rear camber look. It's only a curb side. Hope to have chassis done this weekend.

VW Dave Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 just what id do, just me talkin, id get some other rims, cos these (just my oppinion), i dont thin go to well with the body style It'll be a sad day when polished/plated Fuchs wheels don't go well with an early VW's body style. :roll: Those Pegasus wheels are much too 'Pimp My Ride'(just my opinion) Looking great so far Doug; keep at it.

RTK434 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I agree old VW's and Fuchs are a perfect match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 im with you on that dave. i would black out the spokes of the fuchs wheels myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kod38 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Sorry guys, I am sticking with the fully polished /plated Fuchs. If I had a 1:1 that is the wheel I would choose,unless I could get BRM's. Call me old school,I can take it.LOL! I hope to finish soon,I might cheat and black out the rear windows.

mhadman Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 i like the wheels,i would just black wash the rescessed areas to make them stand out more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrice Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 What no Super Swampers on this one? LOL. Looking good Doug. I like that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I am sticking with the fully polished /plated Fuchs. I agree with that choice; against the dark body color, the fully bright ones are best. The ones with the darkened recesses are pretty cool too, but they need to be against a lighter body color IMO.
