Love the color scheme! Can wait that the thing hiding under the chassis will wear the body!  |

Attachment DeletedMy attempt at VW headlights. So far it looks to be working out OK. A craft eye sliced to get the dot out. A parts box headlight lens glued to Bare Metal Foil with the paper backing on it and slid into the eye. The completed assembly installed into body from the inside. I'm nervous and excited about distressing paint on the body. I've never done that before. I'm enjoying this build a bunch...and learning a lot.
