Radio block off plates that fit correct and flush. I'm thinking your looking for stuff you can do with out "riding the wheel" for hours.
Why not use a stock one? |

Some good quality repo vert decklids. Stamp the louvers in the original skin instead of welding them in.
Woffe at Wolfparts in Sweden allready does this.. On original lids though. He has some nice bits.. http://www.wolfparts.com/shop/A part I really miss is the crossmember section under the rear seat for early cars (bug)... |

It would be worthwhile looking at wolfparts, hookys panel shop and autocraft engineering (not the engine people!) and seeing what repair panels are already available. Then look at what parts are needed that none of the above companies makes and make them. It would be really good to see the small companies like you guys working together rather than competing with each other. It also gives us a more complete range of repair panels instead of lots of comanies all making the same!
On a personal level though, I'd like to see Split Bug rear light pods, glovebox liners and lids, and smooth (no slots) speaker grilles for later bugs!

Speaking of speaker grilles...I'd love to see speaker grilles that are "stamped" for the grille part, but not actually open. If'n ya know what I'm saying.

How about some inserts that are blank so you can drill your own gauge pattern. --louis |

How about a 4 legged engine stand that is reasonably priced. Could probably just make a base for the table top ones with casters.
