I added a couple of more pics of the 68 on Instagram.
@libayrat just wrapping up the Napoleon hat repair. Using 1/8” hand bent plate for the bottom frame head plate. The Brazilian Napoleon hat is shit, 1/2 the thickness of og. Hopefully the 1/8” plate under it more than compensates for it.the kids ...

Check out my instagram to see progress.
Libayrat.

Some pics of the chassis. Pans are nice. Have to graft a section of Napoleon hat.

I have a good crew this year. Car is going to take all hands on deck to get it together.

Getting her all cleaned up. May bead blast or wire wheel trouble spots. Then it’s on to metal fab.

Split the body from the pan today.

That is cool!

Happy new year to all.

Well we got a nice starter project thanks to Brad. So far we have cleared a space for it in the garage, removed all interior things including seats and headliner. We have started to remove the wiring harness and wire wheel all attachments between body and heater channels. After break the plan is to ...

Rebuilt top end of motor and installed today. Got it running but sounds like it has a little valve tick. Maybe I have to check valves again. I'll do it in the morning.

Maybe I'll smack a shamrock right on the doors.

Finally figured out the pics.

I chose to use plastidip as kind of an experiment. The finish looks pretty nice. Works for a thing. The good thing is, if I don't like it, I can peel off and start over.

Thanks. Those 2 places are definately on my list.

Waiting for the fam to arrive here in tiburon looking at the city of San fran.

I am in San Francisco and tomorrow I am starting my journey down the coast. I will end up in Anaheim. Any vw stops that I need to make on the way down the coast. I am with my whole family so far side tracks probably won't be possible. But if close to rt 1 I may stop.

I left feedback for javier 63 on thesamba and I also opened a dispute on paypal. Probably won't do any good but made me feel better. Lol.

Well I just sold my mg midget and plan to pick up the green 67 vert from audrey soon. I am trying to pick up some parts as they come up. Anyway, ordered a 67 vert lid from a guy in cali for a "good" price. Well it came today. Looks good from a distance, but as you look a little closer it is obvious ...

This is supposed to be correct url. I'll have to try it again. Figured u all might get a kick out of it.

I figured I would ask, does anyone have those door support braces to use during heater channel replacement on vert bug. They bolt into hinge spots. If anyone does, I would love to borrow, rent, buy them.
Thanks
