Re: Herbie, The Love Bug Replica Project
Good start, and I like the idea of the "coloured" primer. Was advised to do the same ... did not ... And am now redoing my spray job as a result. We all learn! But great job so far.
Now where was that bolt from again ...?
And do I need to weld that together?

Re: Herbie, The Love Bug Replica Project
Why isn't the roof getting any primer?
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

Re: Herbie, The Love Bug Replica Project
This bug turned out to be quite a hand full. But its almost done now.
The roof did get primer on the final coat. It was nice and smooth so i left it for last. Cheers Ferdi.

Not to be vain or anything, but this car is turning out absolutely awesome.
