I just bought a 1965 bug from another samba brother, Low65Sedan. I haven't done allot to it yet. Gt steering wheel, relowered it, 44 weber carb, seat belts, new wheels are on the way, as well as disc brake kit. I need to know how to post pictures, so I can show it off.[/img]

raise the front to make it look correct or lift both ends to compete with the truck.

The rear is already slammed to match the front. I kinda like bouncing down the road. I will be replacing the front fenders soon and then shooting some color! I want to post some pics but do not want to host them on a spamer site, any ideas? Frank

I would lower mine that much, but Missouri's streets.... there's no effing way. I would have to replace the front apron once a week, no matter WHERE i drove it.

I would but the headlight bucketts have been cut out with a butter knife, so I want to replace them. I will try to find some used og's. Here is some new primmer to hold me over till I get it painted.

The headlight buckets are cutout so you can turn with that beam! If you replace the fenders you will not be able to turn. I remember the previous owner of that car posting about the headlight buckets.

I realize the turning issue, but I want them to be done alittle nicer and both fenders are cracked at the top of the well. But thanks for the info.

One of my fenders is cracked too from running 145s. Damn aftermarket fenders!
