Not sure on 14s but when I had my 15-inch done several years ago, the shop next door did it for me. The tires guys do not like to do it but some of them can. I think lots of lube and they have to be super careful. Maybe E will let us know how he has it done now.

I went over this with Eric and his superb interior man on facetime this week as what we are going to do with the interior soon. Looked over the samples of the basket weave leather like they use on Singer cars. Just for the custom basket weave materials for the car I have to buy enough to do 2 cars the way I want. That is around $3,500. Just for that part plus all the rest of the leather material. I love the look of this color combo. Black leather plus the orange/tan weave I believe this will be killer look. We will do #41 with the Scheel Sport seat that was in the car plus we will also do the factory driver seat that came in the car from the factory just in case I do not like the Scheel Sport seat for everyday driving. Not that this car will get any daily driving. A very special 30th car not the way it came down the line in 1969

With the extra weave I think I will do the centers of the Speedster replica that I am envisioning
In my favorite blue exterior color with the tan/orange leather interior. This picture I believe is of a Real Speedster.

That is the color that I wanted to paint #41 but all of you talked me out of that. Got to have a metallic Blue VW/Porsche

Getting closer.

I like where you going with the interior. I have a similar colored interior in my 2007 Cayman S; Porsche calls the color "Terracota".

Well moving along with #41. Headlights are LED. E will find some sticky tires for my fresh RS finished 7in and 8in 16inch and we are looking for a buyer for 15” 7 and 8 fresh polished finish plus the 15 x 6 spare with same polished finish.

Bumpers are ready to go on and I am hearing talk of starting the Eng. Up. Interior up next. Getting cork leather weave for centers of seats and center of dash. Leather all over.
(Singer like) More pictures coming!!

Very nice Bob what did PMB do to seal the backs of the LED headlight conversion? or are they sealed units to start with?, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

E had new tires mounted on my 16s 7 and 8 with RS finish done by Rick at Fuchsrestoration.com

Really happy with the way the tire and wheels look on number 41. My vision with PMBs help is getting there. Waite till the Singer like full leather interior goes in. It will be a killer Hot Rod VW-Porsche

Is that aqua marine metallic?

If so, our speedster here at the shop that we are reverse engineering came from the factory with that color. I also think it is very nice.

Pete

PS, your build looks nice. It will look killer with your planned interior as well.

Well moving on with 41. PMB is finishing under the dash and putting in the windows.
Note the steering wheel on there now is a La Carrera and will get a 914-6 double wrapped leather with real early Hocky Puck that I bought 10 years ago. Note that the center support under cowl is cad plated as the 1st 50 cars where.

I have spent a bit of time going over the Singer inspired interior. With Dale, PMBs master interior man and I have gone over the materials for the interior. German Tan Basket weave for the carpets and headliner and trunks. lots of tan/Orangeesh leather in two tone weave for seats centers and door panels and center of dash, and Black leather for dash and trims. Leather everywhere vinyl was from factory. Insulation mat in the interior. Materials coming from Italy and the weave from the company that does Singers cars. $9,600. Just for the materials for the interior.

I am doing the Scheel modified seat plus the stock seat in this material just in case I do not like the feel of the Scheel seat. Passenger seat is same treatment on no moving seat that came with the car. Leather all over the back area of the interior that was Leatherette (Vinyl).

Will update here as it is happening. Custom basket weave is 10 weeks off from now.

Absolutely beautiful. The photography on your updates is just stunning. I feel like I'm reading a coffee table book. Interesting detail on the cad plated support. Can't wait to see that interior. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Size and brand.
