1973 V8 Super Beetle Front Engine Conversion - 283 SBC

[V8SuperBeetle]

What do you guys think about this color scheme?



Silver, shaved bumper, lights and trunk handles. Paint my rims black and add a red lip like so.




I thinking about going this direction cause my motor will be about 85% all black with red accents here and there. Yesterday I ordered almost everything to finish up my motor minus push rods cause I have to check their length.

Here's the breather and timing cover I ordered. I basically ordered all the individual pieces minus the valve covers cause I need center bolt.


I'm going to buy some stock vortec valve covers. I might even run a red stripes down those raised lines?


Got a set of red ACCEL spark plug wires.


Ordered a black HEI distributor.....etc.


I've got mainly black with accents of red so I'm trying to carry that outside and inside the car. I'm thinking about getting these seats.


Some red belts, 5 point.


And I plan to do the interior / carpet in a dark grey. For the dash I'll paint that wood grain stripe red.


These exhaust tips.
