It is wrong to trade children for cars, I know that now.

I'll trade you my 52', a case of good beer, and a high five?

In all seriousness, I hope you get to keep the car, it's kind of a once in a lifetime thing...

We are at the punt to commit to the added body lines in the front quarter panels. We tested a piece to see what the results would be using our bead roller. I like what I see for so far, I will most like likely use the English Wheel to introduce some stretching to the metal in that area before we roll in the the new profile. Stay tuned.

The “Z” Roll die worked out awesome for the front quarter panel detail

That was a bold move!

Congrats on the success with the quarter panel detail. It looks great!

I also wanted to say "thanks" to you and the owner for all the time and effort you've both taken to share this with the rest of us (Not to mention all of the other guys who've shared details and knowledge on these early Bugs.)

The build itself is truly museum quality work.

Educational and motivational!

We did not , Both front quarters were harvested from a Euro 58. 👍

Im feeling pretty good about the practice pieces we made of the dash pod

In this photo you can see how deep the Original Uncut Pod is...

I will need to keep playing with the dies, spacing, and pressure on each different side using the bead roller. I think it is possible to get that OG Deep Look 👀 after a couple more tries.
