I have always loved the look of the earlier Beetles with the "Towel Bar" bumpers and the low back seats. The enduring "cool factor" of these cars just seems to tug at me. This was a complete barn find car. It made me do a double take. The motivation here is to return it to it's former glory, with a twist!

Ahh, the joys of building a custom car!
Just when you think you have it ready, you have to take it back apart and make changes. I had the beam back on the pan (for the third time!) and I was all excited to mount the shinny new steering box and I discovered the steering box now sits right over the Zerk fitting on the top tube. Now I need to weld up the old hole and drill and tap a new one. I remember reading this on a thread on the Samba, but I couldn't figure out what it meant, I think I know now.
