And once back home it was ready to be built up...It was quite daunting ,the prospect of using spanners and screwdrivers on the freshly painted body [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

to do that job to clean up the trim holes I use needle files and only push them, never pull them back. But I agree.... scary on fresh paint  |

Definitely no trim going on this car in my lifetime😂😂.
Was plenty of other holes that were now too small with the paint on and needed gently cleaning off.

Man...I like the way you think!!!! Lookin' GREAT Jay! Thanks Mark, appreciate it. How’s your sons 69 coming along? Well... We just recently received the transaxle from Scott Sebastian at MetalCraft Motorsports, and my son is building a 1968cc (CB Panchito heads, 42 DCNF Webers, Engle w-110..... just needs a few finishing touches). Then, hit a little snag... or to be more accurate, a little snag hit him! The young girl was able to finish her text before ramming the rear of his Beetle at approx. 40 MPH and causing a four-car-pileup! Thank God, my boy is okay, but we're still waiting for her insurance company to take care of her mistake! Fortunately, we had not installed the new running gear yet. |

Oh man that sucks. Glad he’s ok, that’s the only thing that really matters. Such a shame after putting work into a project. Hopefully the insurance is sorted quickly and he can get back on it. Best of luck Mark

It was time to start fitting some of the parts i'd had stashed away. A Moto-lita steering wheel that I had always wanted and a Talbot 333 mirror. Was lucky enough to find a pair of NOS mirrors on ebay for a decent price ,so me and my brother could have one each [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Next was the interior. I was trying to find some herculon, and had no luck here in the UK so started to look further afield. I managed to contact a fabric warehouse in the States in Compton or Gardena who said they had some but couldn't send any pictures. Luckily a friend was going on holiday not too far from there, and kindly agreed to pop in and have a look. I gave him some pictures of styles i liked and one of them was a picture of John Deans "Dumper" [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
A week later he emailed me a pic of what he found and I was more than happy [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
