@Espinosa: Oh, I just posted in Finnish! Because I´m originally from Finland, too!
In short: I´m excited about the following changes... 
Best regards
Markus

A short update. I have not had time to visit The Samba for a while.
Since last time I have now installed the double fuellines for the K-Jet I'm installing in it.
I had to replace the framehead on the original '52 floorpan because it was totally crapped... So I decided to install the fuellines inside the tunnel as the originals at the same time. As soon as I get the pan together and all suspension parts installed I will take some pics of it.
Then I can place the body back on its original pan again.

Brought it out because I needed to use the -63 pan that it is sitting on to make a jig for framehead replacement. I needed that for the original -52 pan that The Hebster will get back on soon. 
Here it sits in the middle of the blizzard...

Heheheh, didja see my pics in the gallery already? Next thing, I'll grind off the mounting points underneath the pan...I'll never screw them to their bases again and get them even lower!!

That's exactly what I did to my model. I took the dremel and ground off the bottom after notching out the seats and a few other interior parts.
It still rolls perfectly. I'm going to try and get the rear lower and still allow it to roll.

| A couple of years back someone took a fake heb to the Phx. bug-o-rama that looked halfway decent. |

So, Finally I have some good news! I got the Hebster's original 1952 chassie back together and rolling.
Here fitted with slightly widened stock 15 front wheels and 205/55's on 6.5x16 in rear wheels.
And Finally one peek into my garage after the body and chassie have joined together again. Now I will weld the floopanhalves and start working on the remaining bodywork.
