Rosslyn: Aircooled Flatwindow

[oprahhwinfreyy]

interior got a makeover last night. and by makeover i mean i ripped everything out haha.

So guys, got some inspiration from a show yesterday, pics will be up shortly, and decided to pull out my interior. Glad I did it. I love the look.

Found some natural patina under the headliner.







Didn't want to scratch my rack, so i wrapped it in 3/8" manila rope i got from lowes so I could put my longboards up there.

Also did my gear shift lever.

And did a quick photoshop. Getting closer to this point.

Awesome! I was a bit skeptical about the fake patina, but it actually looks like you're doing it very well! Nice job man, keep up the good work.

Im having a hard time deciding on wheel colors. Should I go, Black inner and white outer like this?





Black outers with white inners and just like not run hubcaps



like this just not browm but black




or all black, or all white...or red...so hard to choose

White outer, black inner and some wide white walls. And of course more low

see id love to have white walls. portawalls are an option, but to run those you have to grind the rim saver down on the tires im getting. and real whitewalls from coker are like $198 a tire i think. so my solution may be to paint the outer white to give a white wall feel but not have white walls. i could always try the krylon flat white and paint the tires. ive seen that before

There are two aircooleds at the junkyard up here in Cincy area. (Bessler's in Hebron) are there any parts you need/want? I could take a look next time I'm down there.

depends on what year they are. i just got some original classic beetle dash pieces with the chrome stripping and stuff. Dont really need anything else that is stock.
