| Valtekz 1967 Porsche |
||||||
|
Follow our progress as we restore a 1967 Porsche, demonstrating the amazing creative medium that is Valtekz composite fabric. We are completely re-building this vintage Porsche with the objective of creating a sports car possessing a hand hewn vintage aesthetic and contemporary performance. The entire cockpit will be tailored in Valtekz composite fabrics. The interior roof panels and pillars will be ensconced in Nest - Macadamia. The seats and instrument panel will be wrapped in Tumbled Steer - Khaki and Chameleon - Khaki. And, in the vein of a 1950's Zagato-body Ferrari 250 GTZ, the floors, luggage shelf and front bonnet will be upholstered in our Palmetto Weave-LW - Khaki. |
