Thanks for the help. That is what I was worried about. I hope I can
tap it back in without any damage. :)

car donation?
Does anyone have a good idea of where in the San Francisco Bay Area I

Great! I'll check that out. Does it apply to the '65 era Ghia?

I have 2 dilemmas (a quartlemma?). 1) I don't know if I should have a

I think the tire is rubbing! I found a piece of metal on the chassis
that is a little bent from the tire rubbing. The clicking noise is the
tread hitting that metal! Thank for everyone's...

OK, I'll check the wheels for rubbing. It doesn't sound like rubbing:

When I turn the steering wheel on my '65 Karmann Ghia too far (when
