Hey, no problem. Always here to help. Glad to see you got it figured out. 
I really like that first pic of your Beetle. Very nice!
As far as the color goes, I can't confirm your suggestions. However, I don't know if you know about this site: http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/colors/colorchrt.htm
If you click on 1958, there are only two blue colors: Glacier Blue and Capri. Maybe someone else knows?

Yeah I have seen the wolfsburgwest site they are a great place to get items from but as far as the online color charts it is to hard for me to determine the actual color with all the differences in monitor settings. I hope someone can add some info as far as color though, I'm still waiting for the birth cert. which I hope will help.

As long as I have a list of "to do stuff" in my book it is still a project LOL I'm currently replacing the tranny with a later 67 style and I'm waiting on the new front beam so that I can adjust the stance some.

dont mess with those original seats and door panels, they are sweet! very hard to find decent 58-59 interior.

Not a chance  although the drivers seat needs some tlc I think some of the wireframe has come undone and has started to sag. So does anyone have any suggestions on what color the blue is I believe it is o.g.? as it is everywhere on the car. (behind the panels etc.) I think the outside was resprayed at some point because the exterior and interior blue are close but not a perfect match.

the H section of the rear apron deff looks like L335 capri blue. the rest of the car looks a bit off.

So it is L335 Capri and the "off" would make sense because I'm sure when they resprayed they only shot the outside of the car. So where the decklid covers the rear apron is the correct color.
Thank you rizzag for the info.

I wish I would have taken some of my starter pics when it was a little more rough around the edges.
Like you did with your 55. Man I love ovals what are your plans?
