will doing what he does best.
he got his oval fender repaired.. we need to put a little primer on it and paint it…
I haven’t been sleeping ALL morning, just enjoy cuddling up in front of the fire every once in a while. ?
Apart from getting cozy I’m gonna finish welding in the new battery tray I got in last night and find something else to get sidetracked by. Last night I also worked the door bottoms some more, pulled the passenger door off to get started on it, and then stripped out all the silicone that was in all the body seams.
Someone was also nice enough in the past to thoroughly weld these plates on to the frame so they could raise the bumper and clear the high performance beetle exhaust, but I can’t afford parts like that so they had to go… Hopefully I’ll gain some weight savings without them. ?? ???
Pulled the door rubber too and it looks like this bus might have some racing history provenance because I found some holes drilled that keep the bus lightweight and probably add some serious performance on the track. Gonna fill them in though since this bus is going to be more prerunner style and won’t see as much track time as it used to. ???
Been working the corner since yesterday afternoon, its probably the most beaten up spot of the body (hopefully) ??
Slowly but surely its getting there… I think I’m getting close now, just have to resist the urge to move on to something else and come back to it…
In other news John and Franz are suddenly all about things being “stock”??

Yup! I think I’m getting the hang of all the dent pulling and metal shaping. I’ve been working a lot on filling holes and shaping the rear corners and got the passenger side all smoothed out and looking awesome ????????
Found this before picture from when it was sitting in the dirt:
And now…
The nose has been getting a lot of attention this morning too, trying to finish pulling it all out and then fill some holes around the headlight bucket and the emblem.
Used the roller die to make a patch that fit the contour of the nose and filled in the old holes from the spare tire mount.
