I have the same spare set up for 41 reg15 Fuchs because of the look. Next, everyone dogs you on the color of your 6. I went with Cannery Yellow because that is what it came with but now I am sorry I did not go for metallic light blue. My favorite color. You have made some changes to your car that may take away from it’s total max value but what the hell. Enjoy it all the time. Life is too short.

Thanks everyone. That rim is not my rim; it is just a test fit wheel. The finished deep six will go in the trunk- wheel face out.

I got over the whole color thing years ago - I mean, heck it was in VA for 5 years and 1 month. That gave me lots of time to consider color. So- that is a done deal.

My BP has gone down a lot since my car has been in Kent's shop. My car has only been there 5 months total and look at all of the work Kent has accomplished. I am very pleased with the results.

Sorry if I missed it but are you you adding any additional stiffening bracing to the tub?

Tdskip - the only bracing that was added was the bracing kit in the interior of the tub. Look in my Part 1 thread for that. Kent has to clean it up still and correct a couple installation issues from the VA shop, but that is all the bracing my car needs.

WTF? That piece only belongs there if Michael was going to install late ‘75-76 bumpers.

OK - Mark figured it out. For the added protection while driving in the crazy state of CA, we decided to add the BUB's to the car......

Michael,
If you are going to use the late black bumpers (BUB's), I think silver would look good. You can also leave it in primer if you can't find a good painter. Hell, it's been in primer for 6 yrs....

True enough. Actually, it was in primer, then allowed to rust.... then it came to Kent's and it has been all good since then. I was actually considering silver for a minute but as straight as this car is now, it would look bitchin in black. After all, it was black when I bought it.

Keeping it gold with updated BUBs would be a great look.

Super idea!
