They do, Tim. Those were Ridge knock off wheels. There were three wheels offered. Two bolt on steelies and the Ridge knock offs. An original set of those just sold through a private sale for $55,000

Back home. More updates this week!

Cheers
Dave

Whoops! Fat fingers Correct, Bill. Common to vintage Porsche as well.

Home from the trip. Time to postulate, fabricate, and procreate so I can have a hand around here!

Cheers
Dave

Moving forward, motor and transmission are bolted in place. The transmission crossmember is bolted in place with recessed nuts (never a good thing!) that allow the crossmember to be removed if needed. I'll finish weld the rest when I strip the car back down.

I finished the steering wheel hub modification to allow the wheel to sit flush on the column. This 18" wheel is very similar to the 507 wheel and once I add the horn ring and reliefs, should be an almost perfect match.

Dash bolted in place. Now that the column is in again I can finish the steering linkage and the car will be able to roll and steer!! Might have to pull it out to get some better pics.

More to come
Cheers
