Getting so close. I will call tomorrow about chrome. * edit-called on chrome; door handles in transit, beauty rings and hub caps soon

Is the rubber floor mat coming along?

Also, I have a list of items we need to complete. Some have been on back order with HOG for a couple weeks.

– interior garnish trim (door and quarter tops)

– window divider trim.

-rear defrost tube long length 30mm diameter

-speedometer cable

-rear seat strap and hold down plate.

-window winder knobs. Should this car have KG knob profile?

-brass contact ring for the horn…We are missing this part. Item number 16 below. Maybe this is the same part as a beetle?

Yes, I think it will look correct.

Horns assembled today and more little things.

JJ gave up a 6 volt horn relay from one of his lowlights.

Yes, I just finished painted the best knobs ivory. It will be perfect.

So we strayed from stock to go with 55-57 color scheme. Is this a reliable source?

Sounds good. I will paint them Ivory to match OG vw.

How about the reverse light switch. Would you like it installed?

Yeah I have one year only 64 steel sunroof I would sale. Same price. Less rust, not as original. Bike roof rack included…or not.

Wipers and mirror/visor installed.

We are running out of parts.

Would you like this switch installed?

Another question on knobs, I believe ivory is correct. But which style? Would early kg be the same as beetle?

The darker ivory kg knobs May be reproduction?

I can slam your engine together no problem…

Then you still have the rest of the bus to build.

Work hard and your dreams will come true. 🙂

Hey dude, don’t forget to re-clip the valve cover bail. 🤪

Perfect. Zero issues this year. The cam chain tensioner is making a little noise, so it’s probably time for a re-fresh.

Dario looks like he slept well.

Hmmm

Not sure making a torque wrench out of bubble gum and popsicle sticks is the best use of time.

Been ripping mine daily. Getting cold in the mornings now.
