Paint's Done!!!!!
I know I know,,,it isn't perfect, but for the price I paid it is realy nice and I'm satisfied.
I still need to bend the front grill out a bit on the passenger side, but other than that I can't wait to piece it together...  Here's the link to the pics: http://www.geocities.com/vzif/restor...estobugnew.htm http://www.geocities.com/vzif/restor.../restobug2.htm http://www.geocities.com/vzif/restor.../restobug3.htm All comments welcome

I can't see the pics, but I checked the member profile and it looks nice. I very nearly went with that color, until my wife talked me out of it. Looks great on a bug. You inspired me to update my pics too.

Thanks for the comments!
I'm especially happy with how they dealt with the driver's side hood hinge crack near the window and the antenna area...totally smooth and all welded. Other little mods include: a removable rear apron, welded and smoothed rear window vents/intakes (now gone) and rear bumper holes filled in. I also kept the hood latches (I just like them and I hated the hood release) and I also kept the front bumper holes. I'm going to meah them over and install fog lights bolted to the old bumper mounts under and behind the fenders.
On a side note...I'm looking for some Porsche Durant mirrors if anyone has some to sell and a plug for the old mirror hole on the driver's side door...maybe put a search light there? Any suggestions?

It will all happen in due time and i cant wait. PLEASE post more pics of your car when its all put back together ok? keep up the good work
