WOW!
I think I may have to make a plan to get my beetle body to you when it gets to the time.
It needs tender loving care

Re: Progress restoration '64 Bug
Astonishing work!
Wow, I wish I had ½ the resources and time that you have.
Well done on a perfect 10 resto!
Can't wait to see her when she's finished, keep the pics coming.

Re: Progress restoration '64 Bug
Think Volkswagen has put a restraint on that beetle, it may not come closer then 25Km from the factory.
Other wise it going to make all the other Volkswagens look like
Well done Dolf.

Seriously guy. How much would an operation like this cost?

Re: Progress restoration '64 Bug
Great job Dude I agree with those that suggest a good write-up. It will help us all. Did you use a sealer on the spot welds of the floor pan halves?

...and I`ve never seen a painter in an attire that looks like he`s going back to a board meeting once he finishes off the undercarriage!
