Nice color for sure! Don't know for 64 but the early cruisers had a black firewall. But that will probably be your next step.

On Holidays in Bali.
Found this beauty on Legian Rd, Seminyak.
Finally found one here that hasn't been turned Feral!
It was dark and Road out front is busy so couldn't get a real good look at it but it appeared to be well done.
Vinyl Softtop probably wise choice in this Humidity!
Goodyear 'Hi Miler' Tyres are awesome!
Shame not available in Australia.
Anyway, sighting made my day.

Received these today. (Thanks Brian)
Frames have been bent/broken.
Any recommendations as to how to get a Profile of the Leg Shape to have this correct?

Further to Paul's previous note: What should the Firewall Color be for mine? Fyi, it's a late '64 Build / 1/65 Chassis Number.
Thanks.

You got holes in the floor to guide the placement of that leg?

Just out of curiosity, do the people in your neighborhood allow that there. Every time I have done that, complaints beyond belief.

I think it's street by street. I basically did a frame off on my street haha and I live in a nice neighbourhood. I guess it depends, because the people I thought would blow their stack ended up congratulating me.. :meh:

Well I had a council guy drive bye and he said just make sure people can see them .. I had some reflectors and stuck them on whilst he was there he said it was fine and have fun restoring them
