Great progress Karl, love the number plate bracket. I have something on the similar on the 67, was looking to do something similar on the ragtop. Did you use someone like send-cut-send to have it made up?

Sold

Man, those carbon t bars look fantastic! I'd absolutely rock a set on my '67 if I didn't want to draw attention to my crooked rear bumper mounts... I can't wait to see where you guys take this little beauty next!

Thanks Steve!
This weekend I have been in the garage almost all weekend. However, not much progress on the car, as I was distracted by this:






AC/DC TIG weld with plasma cutter. I've never TIG welded before other than trying to add a couple of tacks a few years ago. However, I have done some gas welding, so I have an idea of what the puddle should look like.
Then another package showed up in the garage! A first iteration of a licence plate holder. I have 3D printed brackets to put under the spare tire tray with m5 lock nuts.











Looks like I might be on to something. What I'm waiting for is the front quick release as it's only with cable ties at the front for now.







The idea is to make a licence plate holder which can quickly and without tools be removed the at carshows or VW-meets. And you should be able to put it back without it ending up crooked and preferably not be able to come off while driving.
It is of course intended for us who will drive without bumpers or with T-bars or Nerfbars.







I have some changes to make for the next version. But it feels good so far.
I have also done a little bodywork. I finally gained courage to cut and fit the sheet metal behind the passenger door.









I have also fitted the rear replacement panels and corrected the fold in the bottom of the piece as this is only folded over once.







Since the bumper mount is shaped like a cone with a closed bottom, I drilled a drain hole in the front. Because I will lower the front, but not the rear.






I previously made a piece that I finally took courage and welded on. With the TIG! I dipped the tungsten probably 12 times and blew 3 holes that I had to fill... Things you learn from, and next time it will hopefully go better!











The next piece to fit in will be the lower part of the inner fender. This needs a lot of modification... But we will do that next weekend!

cool

Yeehaa. The body is nearly finished, yesterday I welded a patch in the rear apron and put the front apron in place. I was lucky to borrow a spot welder from a friend for this task
All fenders are repaired as well.
I only need to add brackets for the removable rear apron and finish some details before I can start to prepare the body for paint.
