Beetle Body Needed

Brian · « **on:** December 15, 2007, 05:20:28 PM »

I am looking for a beetle body any year with a flat windshield. I would like for it to be as straight/solid as possible from the windshield back including the rear fenders. Good glass, doors, rear deck lid. Doesn't matter if its a supper or if its been hit in the front.

I have been bitten by the Volksfolks creative bug! :idea1:
If all goes well it will make its debut at BAP 10. :-#

OH LORD !!!! What are you up to now ? Could it be a Trike, a trailer, or a Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 powered Bug ? Hmmm!
Crystal, You had better get a grip and hold on. :lol:

Painting advice from me

That would be like "The Blind leading the Blind" but I will share all the vast infomation I have learned ( 30 min.) about painting cars. I belive I have painted a total of ONE (1) car in my life in my exotic expensive paint booth ( under a picnic canopy in the driveway)

Hey David, I might need some painting advise in a couple of months.

I can help you out with painting advice . . .

1) Don't try to get of a paint job cheap . . . spend an extra dollar per can and get Krylon.

2) Don't try to paint if the wind is blowing more than 10 mph.

3) Don't paint if it's raining.

4) If you want a really slick finish, wipe the chucks of the dirt and any big bugs off of it first.

5) If you have rust spots, tap it a time or two with a rubber hammer to knock the loose stuff off and coat it good with rusty metal primer.

I've got a couple dozen more paint tricks, but I don't want to share all of them . . . :lol:
