Dont 2 tone it, you wil get tired of that look real fast. That orange looks good maybe a bit more copper in it and it would be on. Hate to say it but there are so many killer OG VW colors to go all custom on it. as Godfather says"It's your coal truck". :lol:

It would take me a looooong time to get tired of looking at either one of those two cars! I still think it's the fenders sitting down over those steelies and whitewalls that makes any paint...or primer...or rust look good.

Nothing new yet.  It has been too cold, I've been sick, my 6 month old son has been sick and my wife has been sick.  I am hoping to get something done soon.  I have been itching to get back out to the shop.  I will update as anything gets done.  Thanks for your interest.

I know the feeling.  i too have been out of comission, and even when i feel half decent, the garage doesn't have decent heat.  Working in sub-freezing temps is not my thang.
