Rag Rolled !
I ended up using One Shot lettering enamel , sprayed on with an airbrush , then filled the gun with thinners and quickly dusted over it , and then used a plastic bag to roll and crease the paint . It needs a polish and maybe some laquer , but I'm pretty happy so far.

Crikey , nearly 2 years since my last reply on this thread and I have finally made a full pass under power in the Bug !
Nice and gentle on the launch , and through the gears and it went 12.80 . The car went really straight and feels like there is plenty more to go .
Got some jobs to do now before EBI , the slicks are rubbing on the fenders due to the long race axles ( they were cheap second hand ) . Also the tacho has stopped working , and also need to raise the rear suspension a little .
Cheers , Rob

Hi folks
Ned bug is now down south, a Rob was kind enough to sell the Ned bug to me at the tail end of last year
Nearly 18 years after seeing he original in the cal look bible the replica is tucked up near home
Rob has made a great job of capturing the feeling and essence of the original and I'm grateful of his dedication to producing a great car
Hopefully it will be making appearances at Drag day and Gary's picnic and a few other events if time allows
See you at the strip
Regards Ron.

Hi Ron , thanks for your kind words about the car . I miss it , workshop doesn't look right without it ! and its a shame I never really got round to running it properly , just a couple of low 12's , it had a lot more to give .
The motor is now in the buggy , so I'll look forward to a race at Drag Day . I'd love to race you in the Plymouth at Gary's Picnic too , wouldn't mind being beaten by my old bug !
Any pictures of work you've been doing ?
Cheers , Rob

Hi rob
Thanks again for sending the bits
No photos as I've not done much with the old girl just tucked her up for winter
Be great to race at Gary's, hopefully it'll be a bit dryer and warmer by then
Regards Ron

Congrats on the purchase Ron. That car is absolutely fantastic, the job that Rob did on it was incredible. Your a lucky man. I'd love to race you at the drag day or Gary's Picnic, i'd like to have a photo of my car next to yours on the startline. |
