Thanks Tom, it’s been fun building this beetle for you.

I started assembling the cooling tin and other parts to the engine.
Pertronix igniter II in the vintage cast iron blue screamer.

Dang, crappy roads. Take it slow.

No, but some math guesstimate is around .5lbs with the reverse gear.

In order to make time, one must spend time.

Painted up! Dry tomorrow, assemble on Monday.

Painted black. Nice n’ shiney. A 65 would have pearl white rim sections on the outer portion of the wheels.

Masking and another paint session to go, unless we are happy with all black?

Double barrel draft tube with the valve cover vent tube, and deleted air filter outlet.

I like the new Empi beater tube because it’s not full of oil,  and its the 40hp style.

Sand blasted tin, ready to paint.

I sourced some original lower cylinder tin because they fit the best. A few of the mounting tabs needed repaired.

And fit the stainless A1 Performance sidewinder to original heater boxes with the aluminum elements inside. The heater should work fantastic in this car.

Since we’re doing vintage look, I whipped up a 6 volt generator backing plate modified for 12v. The pressing has more style than the flat smooth later style

Yeah, they got rear-ended by a semi truck.

I changed reduction box bearings on that bus last year when they were driving through colorado.

Sounds like Karen got involved.

Been wrenching on local stuff…New speedometer for Rina’s original owner orange 74 super, along with the first oil change on the new engine.

Branson’s white 73 super got a new top end and a main seal. I just ran it. Ready to go tomorrow after I check the valves again.
