Thanks Mike. I may have to stop there. I need some orange that is a match for some touch up work.

So I bought a 71 Super. Didn't really mean to, but it was way too good of a deal to pass up.

It has a 1500 H case in it now. It's going to go.

This is the start of the AH that's going in it.

All stripped and clean. Considering splitting the case but haven't decided yet.

Piecing things together. I'm blasting the cheap chrome off and adding flaps and a tstat to the Chinese shroud.

Going to powder coat the engine orange with silver vein accents.

Also planning on putting discs on it. The car is extremely solid and thanks to my 67, I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert on where Beetles rust. The only rust I can find on the hole car is a 2" hole behind the battery.

Solid yet dirty floors

The car has been parked since the 80s.. Like 84. Really looking forward to making it nice and enjoying it. I pick it up Sunday.
