Pulled two Westy wooden flip seat backs from KBs stash that still had hinges attached.

Scraped and sanded them down and made a couple of  veneer repairs. I’ll start clearing them tomorrow. 

Sanded and laid down final coat on this round of cabinets. 

Installed passenger toe kick yesterday and got started on the door panel.. 

Finished the door panel this morning. WW is closed so I’ll have to paint handle escutcheon black. 

 

We will build it if it comes.

Cut, sanded, pre-stained, and laid down first coat of stain on the floor panel last night. 

Sanded and laid down second coat on remaining cabinets also. 

KB sent down some cabinets for us to pull the hard to find bits off of, an OG fridge, and a bunch of baggies full of treasures. 

Fresh set of door and kick panels to get started on next.

 

 

We will build it if it comes.

Doors/lids and hardware going back from apart on finished cabinets also.

Hey Guys! The car is looking great! I was laughing out loud at John’s comments on the number of wires. The fit and finish is a work of art!! I pulled the 65 Beetle home so getting it ready to send your way. I will need a few weeks though as I have to locate everything for it. Thanks again!

Thank you for allowing us to be the guys you trust Dan. I’m excited for the ‘65 to arrive. I love the dirty shop side of a fresh project.

Franz helped me fit the roof panel to trim for the sub- hatch the other day. We both flinched a little when it snapped into place….😲

Sorting parts and finishing  prep on cabinets was the order of the day.

I’ll start clearing cabinets tomorrow morning.

Packed up some stuff in WA and are fleeing the shelter in place there. Going to head to Utah to be closer to family during these crazy times! Tried to get to Boise tonight but got stopped just after McCall. Place called Donnelly. My wiper motor stopped working and it was snowing so much that the rainx didn’t do anything… turned back and stopped at a motel in town that’s letting us camp in the parking lot for free. Super nice of them. Road should be clear in the morning and we will head to SLC.

Damn! Looks like your about to get into a headon collision in this pic. Drive safe!

Popped the middle headliner panel in first thing today, marked  the opening for the sub-hatch and got it cut out.

Prepped the new panels with pre-stain. 

Laid down the first coat of stain. These need at least six hours of dry time before they will be ready for the second coat early in the morning.

We will build it if it comes.
