| DO I SPOT Creative Car Craft Glass Fenders?? They are the best EVER made and will stand up to alot of abuse...even though i doubt your be abusing them too much once the car is done. I LOVE how you fabed the dash and wondered why you closed up the radio and stock speedo holes...what are your plans? Nore peole should be creative when it comes to the supers and there curved dashs....there are plenty ot there waiting to be redone but it seems like they are usually parted out...its a shame. Is the dash completly welded in to the point you couldnt make a glass mold to reproduce it to sell? Just a idea...keep it up. Makes me wish i kept my 73 supe with all the CCC fenders i sold 3 months ago :( |

CCC Fenders are the best !!! They are even better now then they were 20 years ago, and they were great then !!!
The dash is solid welded in place and the 55 dash was smoothed over to allow for custom placement of new gauges / radio / etc.
Now to get going on the roof chop, or just leave it like this ?? :lol:

| Keep in mind that the oval roof and super roof have different sized posts. (Not just the c's either, the bs and of course the as) |

I'm only using the roof / oval window & louver section, no pillars....I sold the semaphore pillars, windshield pillars were shot.
Thanks for lookin' out.... |

Cut down the middle and widen it, then it fits. Same around all the windows and doors :shock: . It's an involved process. |

'Shield is laminated. Can be cut curved = tricky but absolutely possible, will use a brand new windshield vs. old, fragile glass.
Door windows and 1/4 glass are tempered. CANNOT be cut. New glass will have to be cut and then tempered for safety.
Rear window is tempered AND curved. CANNOT be cut. This is where the oval window clip graft in comes into play :D |

...but why a Super Beetle?
Work looks great and I read the emotional hang-up with the car... but it's still gonna have a fat schnoz once finished. |

Because when was the last time you saw a Super Beetle with -
4" Choptop
Suicide doors w/ shaved handles
Oval window
55 metal dash
full air ride
59 ragtop
2110 Turbo w/ specific built trans
that's why.......and well....cause I can :)
Some people go to the Bunny ranch in Vegas to screw the hottest chick they can $$$ for.
I've had enough hot chicks in my life, I go to screw the fattest chick in the joint !!! |

didn't quite understand your post but no offense was taken, I read into that you were giving me some credit. It just gave me a good opportunity to vent about my parents loungin in my place (oh yeah, they're reading this, HI.)
Thanks to all who are checking out my ride. If you don't like it, that's ok too. |
