Thanks Jimbo, again and again you ask and you will receive.

Nice you’re making fast progress, must be so much fun. What the plans for the paint? I guess the primer is where the OG has left the party?

I'm in the final stages of metalwork, so here is a BBT fender that did not really fit so good, so I had to cut and fill material to get it corrected.

Had to fab a couple of pieces for this fender.

Got it done but it's not a beauty queen but I will add some more metal in the low spots to help to use less filler.

Im happy with the alignment even though the apron is a little rough.

Note to BBT: Passenger side fenders do not have a complete horn grill cut away.

Cleaned it up and made sure it's all flush.

It turned out good. Now I can get on the driver side fender repair.

Welded it from the top, now its all good except for the big ass rust hole next to it.

Here is the super thick undercoating BS that whoever put on this beautiful hood deserves a solid kick to the nuts!

Wait, scrap,

This is some nasty SH T

Better

Another gallon for this devil skin!

Finally, after a couple of days back to normal and ready for paint.

I wanted a radio for this car, and I have a Hirschmann antenna and didn't want to cross the brands like Adidas shorts with Nike shoes type thing so no Telefunken radio, plus having the OG clock. I wanted something correct for the era and found a killer deal with this 1949 Philco 6V Radio loaded with hornets nests. Then I removed all the internals and saved them for a person needing them, then mocked up the new digital Bluetooth with a modern 4" 50W speaker. I also got the OG light working and will be added to the light switch of the car. Click on the link to see it in action.

Sounds great and stoked on how it turned out.

Thanks Jimbo & Frank!

Jimbo, I am waiting on the painter for paint correction which we could be in less than two weeks. I'm hoping I get the call to bring it as soon as possible so we will see.

Frank, I hope to have it at something in So Cal this year (RVA, VW Revival show.)
