356 Outlaw from Germany

[Marc Walz]

Just finished my 1960 Outlaw and had the first roll-out today. The car still has most of its original paint. Still needs some minor work like license plate lights, exhaust tips and bumper alignment.

[Greg Scallon]

I love it. Nice work! I'll bet that paint would buff out really nicely(if you wanted the shiny look that is).

Congrats.

It looks great. What adjusts on the front spindles?

The drop spindles are not adjustable! They just lower the car on the front about 2“ without changing the axle/suspension geometry.

[Martin Benade]

That makes sense

[Rudy Kramer]

Where did you get the front drop spindles? I have a 1960 T5 outlaw same color.

[Brendan Head]

Likewise keen to hear more information of the front spindles?

VW drop steering knuckles are pretty easy to come by, you need the type for older link pin suspension. Cip 1 or CB Performance are two good sources in America.

[Greg Bryan]

Are the new spindles made specifically for the 356 by Empi and Emory drop spindle?

[Greg Bryan]

PS - I like your fat rear tires, Marc!

[Todd R Hyatt]

I too am interested in hearing what drop spindles exactly did you use? Also do your tires rub at all during turning?

[James Overstreet]

I’m curious if those 205/60r15 fit in the rear without modifications?

I thought 195 were widest that will fit without rubbing?
