Making Progress On Both My 58 & 67 Projects

[Shubee2 (DSK)]

Hi Guys I have Been Working On The Floor Pan On My 58 Ragtop I got the Pans fitted and Welded in and I am now getting the Pan ready for Paint Soon, I changed the Steel Welded in Front Trans Mount to the Later Style also the Both Frame Horns  Had These Big pieces of Angle Iron Welded to them which I think it might have been for a Hitch But Come on now What can you pull with a 36 H.P.?  here's a few Pictures

Since Everyone either wants or run's a 67 Vert Lid On there 67! I decided to Do my own Thing and Be Different Ok Now Here Is My Deck Lid I Am Working On For My 67 Cal Look  I took a  4 vent deck lid cut the vents out then took out one of the center vents making it a 3 Vent Deck Lid I then Shaved of The Lic. Plate Light and Sunk the Plate in cutting the lid just below the eyebrow it still has the 67 eyebrow I think it looks pretty good But it's an awful lot of Work  and a Ton of Welding and shrinking the metal, the inside of the lid is still Original Ruby Red Paint.. Let me Know What you Guys Think?  I hope It dose not get Copied Before My Car Is Done. I am also doing a One Off Deck Lid for my 58 Ragtop.and a one off Cal Look Dash.. I will Post Pictures as I get Closer

That is a sweet looking lid Shubee. That is one of the first sunken license plates I have seen on a VW that didn't look like crap. I may steal that detai lfrom you and add some empi eyebrows.

LOL Nope Its SHUBEE Style when the Car is Painted  It will be a suttle touch it wont be an eye sore  I think the sunk Plate will draw more attenion to the deck lid then the vents  But I like to Be Different I dont like having the same thing the Guy Parked next to me has at a VW Show. The One Off Deck Lid And Dash I am doing on my 58 Are going to Be Cool Looking,  Glad to Here the Metal Pieces are Getting Shipped It wont be long till I need them. Thanks !
