I cast up some red clear tail lights .. the plan is to mast off the lenses before painting the rear portion with body color... I also added the engine compartment venting under back glass... STOP THE MADNESS !!! Hahaha!!

Quick, maybe. I knew what the little buggy looked like and its size before sending it to Starryeyes, kinda had this planned since Dec. Luggage with stickers riding on top, is how my family traveled.  |

Got home this morning and wanted to work on the little buggy. However when I looked at the desk i work on, something was off. I'll show you Thats my desk, my tools but i keep my work space tidy. Oh and look at that someone has started working on the second buggy I got. My first thought is Modeling elves. Real it's my wife (Laughing Doe) . No Stopping her now, looks like she has a plan. How cool is that !!! Very cool !!! Can't wait to see what she's doing. |

![]() his is my wife's super beetle. His name was Eugene. He was the love of her life. She and her father rebuilt the motor and trans in their garage. Eugene had a bondo'ed hood and quarter panel and a bad habit of flooding at stop lights. But She loved him more then anything. Hope she'll like a Car-toon version. just needs a few touch ups and pics with better light. You Sir are fast!!! And the result is great! |
