Plan-B project

[danny gabbard]

Well with my welder still waiting on parts and my dog running out of stuff to talk about has gave me some more time to work on my own stuff, Here are a few nos bumper parts I collected to build a complete front bumper with early over rider tube. Even 14 mm head bolts that early cars used.

A few pictures of bumpers built and horn grills installed, right side has the original horn grill block off plate behind grill.

Back on beam , Got steering box seals to day from applied industries and they use to be king bearing, Good source for seals and bearings. Got parts real clean in solvant tank and then finished with paint thinner to clean all oils and then masked. Had some old purple lable DP-40 and sprayed baremetal parts then sprayed with semi gloss black. Over here in the states the purple lable ppg dp-40 has been out-lawed- sssshhhh , dont tell anybody I sprayed it !

Then, VW went full circle and decided to bend 'em in the center for the '67 models? Oh well... either way, it matters not. I just dig the look of those. I was so stoked when I brought my '67 home for the first time and found one freshly plated and still in the bag. I installed that thing, instantly. Can't stand the other style.
