Nice work. If you did this in under 6 years Grampapete is gonna be pissed. Lol.
You European guys are craftsmen for sure. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Good Luck. _________________ I have learned over the years.

Grandpa Pete says Nice job !
When DID you start this ???
has my build thread helped you any ?
It looks like you intend to use a type 1 upright motor .
What are you building this for ?
I wanted a camper that I could sleep in ; that's why I went with the type 3 flat engine and interior deck .
How are you going to match the bug gutters to the larger bus gutters ?
How are you matching the stamped lines in the roof ? bug/bus _________________ 63 two fold rag

Looking good! I see that it looks like you are leaving the upright beetle engine. Will you be leaving it exposed or covering like the busses with the inside lid. _________________ '67 Beetle L41

Great idea to bring the bus roof design forward . I'll probably end up filling in all the " groves " on the bug and bus top pieces ...
Great progress  |
I like too roof shape . Roof comes stiff those like shape . I try using very little plastic filler too . |
