Title: Help! I need the article from HVW's about filling exhaust cutouts. Post by: The Ideaman on March 24, 2009, 18:51:21 pm Speedwell's scanner is down, and we are to that point in bodywork. I think the article was by Deano, where Danny Gabbard filled the peashooters. Probably in '02 or '03. Any help would be appreciated.

Zach, did you happen to post pics of when you filled the cutouts? I would like to see how you went about it. Thanks, --louis Title: Re: Help!

I would like to see how you went about it. I think there are a couple pics in AssHull's thread, other than that the rest of them are on a flash drive that I have yet to re-install after my pc went belly up. Body work has yet to be done on it, so we'll have to wait and see what the actual results are ;) Title: Re: Help! I need the article from HVW's about filling exhaust cutouts.

I can scan the article if you know the issue as I most likely (it is very rare that magazines gets lost in mail but Hot VWs occasionally do) have it. Title: Re: Help!
