Newbie here,,,

Just bought my first air cooled bug.
It is a 71 super vert... sounds cool just saying that,,,,71 supervert. lol

Anyhow i figured i'd stop in for some ideas on what to do with it. It is a perfect rust free basket case that was in pieces when i got it and it came with a bunch of goodies.
The motor is a 1914 with a crap load of stuff done to it. It is suposed to have about 120 hp. ( we'll see about that ).
I also have a cherry looking " Mulholland " rear whale tail that i'm kinda torn on what to do with.
When i brought the bug home i set the tail up on it and i'm not sure if i like the look or not but i've seen bugs with the 3" rear fenders and this tail and it looks good.
I'm getting fenders for it anyways but i have never seen a whale tail on a vert before.

What do you guys think???
Maybe i'll just sell it,,,, is there any interest in something as rare as the "mulholland tail". The one i have is in real good condition. about an 8 on a 1 - 10 scale.

Thanks,
Kris
