Hello Uli,
I just found your thread on your car. All I can say is "WOW". I'm humbled by your dedication in bringing this poor car back to life. I spent four years in deutschland in the 1980s and LOVED every minute of it. (US Army - Nuremberg and Stuttgart areas). I thought you might like to see some pictures of my '65 "Formula S" I've been working on for several years. Chassis and motor are done, working on interior now and repaint last.

Keep up the great work. I'll be watching for more updates on your progress!

I haven't caught up in a while and must say I'm still impressed Uli! I LOVE the color -- very unusual and an eye-catcher for sure! The emblems and trim and just everything look awesome. Your work is an inspiration to us all.

Hi Uli, I have some old aluminum wheels from Western Wheel. Found them in the local salvage yard off a 4 door Diplomat for $60.00. They have the same dimensions as the steel cop car rims: 15 x7 with 4 1/4 inch backspacing. Tires are 225/60-15 front and 245/60-15 rear. I am also running an 8 1/4 rear out of a '74 four door Valiant. It was 3/4" narrower than the stock 7 1/4 and I had to install the Mopar offset shackle kit to allow enough room for the tire/wheel to clear the spring. I'm pretty sure I could have squeezed a 255 tire in back after getting everything put together.

Here are some pictures:

SO ULI ....what color are you going to paint it?

It's like a color as the German marine.
Ral 7012 = paint code
Here is an example:

Great work Uli, that fish is going to be really sweet. Love the work on the emblems. :cheers:

Sorry Uli battleship grey just doesnt look good on a Mopar. I have to disagree with the choice. Then again it is your car so do what you like.

Might look better if it was a two tone paint job,black and grey maybe?

 

[PapstXX]

This is your opinion !

thx for your comments

 

[DRENO]

Nice work on the trim pieces Uli. You're an artist with the little brush.8)

 

[DusterKrazy]

Sehr Gut!!!

 

[needsaresto]

This is your opinion !

thx for your comments

fish...., battle ship....
both are for the water! :-D

 

[needsaresto]

Now on the other hand if you decide to mount a turret and gun at least it's already the correct color!

 

[rapom65]

I kind of like the gray with blackout treatment. It's definitely out of the ordinary. The most trouble I have with my cars is picking a color that stands out from the standard (pick a high impact color) crowd. I say more power to you Uli! What color is your interior?

 

[PapstXX]

My interior should grey and black with red seams become.

rapom65 = It's definitely out of the ordinary= to agree with so.

and more pics

before

well done

with the right music everything is so much better
