these next few pictures are about 45 minutes after the flat clear was sprayed. We used Hot Rods Flats by SEM. In the instructions it said wait for 45 minutes before you heat the booth. I am not sure why but I am guessing to give it some time to flow.

I also got all my plumbing in for the carbs as well as the oil lines.

Now all that is left is to get the blinker assembly installed, finish the wiring, install the motor and plumbing, and re-adjust the rear torsion.

Thanks! I wasn't sure prior to painting the accent colors that I would like the matte finish, but now I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone, because the pictures do not show really how awesome it is next to the shiny paint.

I am very happy with it. I plan on a few modifications by running the hoses up to the sealing and over to the wall and hard mounting the pump to the wall. pump seems to always be in the way right now.

I'm not normally a fan of heavily customized and lowered Beetles but I definitely make an exception for yours. That's really very beautiful -- and tastefully done. Great work.
