We got Galina’s fenders all primed yesterday, set the body on the ground, sanded and worked on the roof.. got it done, put back on the dolly and started on 1/4’s and what not… I suspect we will have the whole shell in primer on monday! 😎

 

She is supposed to be by today with money and the final choices on color!!!! 😎  I think it will be a twin to Franz’s bus… but we will see.. 😎

Man I’d love to be in a position that would allow me to afford this treatment to the OLDMANN. Eh maybe I’ll be there before JJ says no more new projects for real.

Gonna be sweet!!

 

Maybe we could talk her into some fuchs…??

Hell yeah. Glad you talked her into stock resto. The wheels should be two tone sea green and white I believe. The example above is incorrect. Inxay on the white wall tires. Too fancy for a economy car like the VW was intended to be.

Get Kindig to build you some 19s with the white walls built in the wheel. Solid idea.

Goal met!!  We knocked out the remainder of body work and JJ had me lay  down the poly on the shell. She’s going to sit for a few while we knock out body work on Juan’s ghia.

We will build it if it comes.
