    Im more used to the later steering wheels but do love the batwing as well. That tubing bender will for sure be a great addition to the arsenal! Keep it up!

      I’m loving the later wheel. I think it’s a winner

    My first car in 1971 was the Renault R8 with the 956cc engine. It was the body shape just after your one, so you've got my attention! I'm looking forward to what's going to pop out here.

    Excellent progress! I’m going with the KG steering wheel over the batwing, I think. It just suits the look, I think. Also - maybe cut the bender mounting bolts to the floor for safety?

      I’m leaning that way myself! Thanks for the feedback!

    With that pipe bender you can make anything just need a balaclava and a mobile gas axe because pipe is expensive but they just grow on the side of roads and when you take them they grow more 😅😅😅

    Renault r10 are rear engine water cooled and was a favourite build for rally and buggy builds due to waight and independent suspension made them VW like...I learnt to drive in one my father was a Renault collector but his love was the 16 but had a few 12,s and 10,s👍

    The batwing has a different amount of splines and does not fit a newer column. The Ghia one looks good !

      Yea I would be cutting another column :/,… I also like the ghia wheel! Thanks for watching!

    When you mount the body to the new tube frame will you weld the connections or use studs or bolts with rubber bushings?

    • @lowerclassgarage

      I will weld to the body and use bolts and rubber to mount to the pan
