as for wheels i reckon you want something 16"
not TOO big
The car is fairly modern so not too old school
I am biased but i reckon some Boxsters
6's and 7's will fit nicley
yep - same as mine but 66deluxe has them on his as well
Futue te ipsum!!!

Esca's - Yes it will still be Escra's
1916 badge - Michael at VVDS got this done for me.. Thanks Mike
Wipers.. Easy to say, harder to do.. 6v windscreen and 12v assembly.. had to modify the arms.. Maybe chrome down the track.. maybe not.. the black
look fine

looks awesome! 
i reckon if u could get your hands on some 16'' Randar wheels they would look sweet... (nearly exactly the same as the Escras except 16 inch) a guy
called Randy in the states makes them. if not Escras would be my choice

Rob,
Great choice. If I kept the wide five stud pattern, that's the wheel I wanted. But I would black out the sections where the wheel nuts are between
each spoke, just my preference.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,

Just re the Nats.. May not get there now but you're always welcome to come take a look at my warehouse..

Well after two threads and 2.5 years doing a 90day re-build, the car is now finished and back in my warehouse.
I'm sure it will show up in other threads from time to time but (for now) that is the end of this project..
Next is a 71 dual door panel that has been waiting for a while..
Thanks to everyone for positive comments and keeping me motivated.. Rob
