Been driving it more finally, I have some awesome polished aluminum diamond plate. It's enough to do all four panels inside but the catch is I would not ever drive it to work after I installed them if you know what I mean. Laughing I'll post pics if I make them.

Went for a cruise Saturday for a good solid hour of driving to test out any more bugs. Went pretty well and I saw a nice big block T bucket at a light. I waved and he just kept staring, I know he saw me wave and just snubbed me. Maybe he is sad cause he had $50,000 in his ride and I have under a $1,000 with a big smile on my face. Laughing

After commuting to work and back 60 miles Saturday my back has decided the boat seat has got to go. I also might move the fuel fill to the roof above the rear window.

Don't care for the fuel tank in the back so I'm going to move it back up front and raise it so the cap is exposed through the hood.

Fuel fill through the lid....That might look neat.... Dune Buggyish.

Dan .. Shocked . Single circuit master cylinder.... really...????!!!.

Not me... never again....
I have had my cheeks clinched tight in a 64 Beetle, while sliding though an intersection, blowing the horn, yanking on the parking brake...
The master cylinder , is one thing I ALWAYS upgrade form single to dual, no matter what make or model car I'm building..

Yeah I know I had a new bus master in a box so I thought I'd use it. Embarassed
Still not sure if ill put the neck through the hood, I already have my vacuum gauge sticking through. Using some wood to help me decide before I fab up something.

That's a great design bracket. Can I ask what size outlet does that tank have?

Picked up a 3rd row bench seat that will fit in the bug and has a thin base to it to help keep the profile down. I also scored an indian blanket to cover it with. The Mrs. and I made a day of the junkyard trip and went to the casino. So the $70 I had in the seat and blanket ended up being about $370 ooops. Ill post more pics when I install it.
