Jester Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Looks like you have plenty of room for those drop splindles.......... :poke: Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 not a bad job on the fenders. I am used to a more "California" paint job when it comes to 2 tone, where the fenders, roof, hood and trunk are one colour and the rest is a different colour. Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 thanks , i was trying to go with something close to a California look, but being a 70 it didnt have the molding . and adding it was a lot of work. so i guess this would be a budget cali look . ? Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 a thick silver pin stripe could have replaced the molding Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 a thick silver pin stripe could have replaced the molding That is a good idea . I will have to remember that for the next bug. Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I remember back in the mid 90s I picked up a copy of Hot VW and there was an article on a Split Window Bug with a Porsche 911 Carrera drive train. Which has been on my top 3 favourite cars I'd like to own. Quote Link to comment

And then i might get some work done . lol 2 Quote Link to comment
