Let the pics begin!
Headshot So today, got the inner fenders and support all cleaned prepped and painted-
Now I know some folks will see the engine and freak, It is the original color that I got it, and I covered the color thing way back in this thread, so
The great pumpkin will remain the great pumpkin.
close up Now also remember that I went the budget route, so the old seat cover- and a lot of old parts are reused,
here is the cab- I am waiting to put the horn stuff in until last-
Interior I sitll have some wetsanding, some touch up, a few spots that escaped me until now-

side view I am happy with it, I want it to be mechanically sound and a daily driver, and I do not want to worry about scratching paint, or what roads I drive on, so the Paint is of the tractor variety.
new shoes for this old girl, I already mounted one of the rear tires, these will look good.
shoes fenders fender colors came out way wrong and there was some orange peel, so these are getting blasted and repainted.
here is the organized tool tray- notice the wrenches on one side and the sockets the other and misc- the 1984 hair dryer belonged to my aunt and doubles as a heat gun-
Works really well too!
tools work bench for isolated items- and small detail work- beetle belongs to my brother.
