That's great news! Annoyingly too late for me :(

I have seen some of his early Beetle pressings and they are extremely good.

Hey there. So this is the original design I used and the just made it somewhat smaller

This is a dodecagon , a 12 sided paragon.

Fun to build really.

The one I’m using is one complete hoop the I cut in half.

Here is the link to measurements to get you started

I too was inspired by that thread and the dodecagon design for my Ghia build. If you follow that link from Mr Wren then scroll to page 2 there's the dimensions I worked out for the same idea to fit my Ghia. I also made it smaller than the Bus version. There's a photo of my Ghia in the frame. I would recommend bracing along the centre line so frame rock too much and doesn't stress the mounting points. The brace can be a small section of tubing from the frame to any existing bolt hole on the body.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ Thanks Brother ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Christian has been painstakingly going over lots of random rust spots. I’m just showing the major ones. 👊

It is a dream come true to werk with my Son. He has great Goals for life so I don’t know how long he will stick around but I’m enjoying every minute of it while I can. ⚒☑️🤍
