    Getting me another bug for a hotrod

    Post  Terry on Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:43 pm

    Getting me another bug, finally found a '68. I've wanted one for years.










    No the roof rack isn't included, although I tried.

    Going to put my HR 1641 I'm building in it. Twisted Evil

    The pic below should give you an idea of the color it will be painted and strips it will wear.
    No numbers though! Cool

    What an opportunity and what a great year!

    I hope you keep everyone up to date on this as it gets "born again", those conversions can be inspiring to watch!

    Oh yea, '68 has always been my favorite year. Got it home Saturday night. Now if the rains could cut me some slack I can start working on it.

    After my chores were done today, (first day of spring break) I looked over the bug to see what or where to start first.















    Picked up some primer and sandpaper while I was in town today. Smile
