Leif, you beat me to it. My thought was "The only work that needs is to turn the key and put it in gear!"

Looks beautiful!

I love the colors. Also, the hardtop looks great on a C1. I have one for my '61 also but don't use it much.

Hardtop only, so I will be looking for a soft top. Plan is to add AC soon and full chassis switch restomod this winter. It is not a numbers matching car, so don't feel too bad about the switch. i love old cars, but want a better driver. It does look great, paint is really good, interior clean, frame straight and rust free. I have lots of questions , so I am researching the archives. Looking forward to a new project.

Since you have a hardtop and going to add Air Conditioning don't waste your money on a convertible top.

Good point.
What are the largest wheels and tires I can go with in this stock configuration?

Thanks.
I saw on another thread that 215-70-15s seem to be the popular radial, maybe even 225s. Seem correct for c1s?
