I studied this Beetle.... at the nationals...
and it was awesome....

the wiring is as good as it gets...100% maybe 200%

Painting ....100%
inside boot.... 100%
Dash.... 100%
Wheels... 100%
interior.... 100%

Headlamps let it down.... old originals but He did tell me they are getting upgraded to H4s....
Wipers on 68 Beetles must park like that....
I've been trying to get Mine to stay down near the rubber..
with no success.....

Great Car .... Congratulations.....
It couldn't have been done any better .....
It was better than original by a LONG shot....

Lee Noonan
Great work guys.... and it would have been a BIG Job.....

They said they did it all by them selves.....

I think they deleted the fuel filler from the side and they fill it up with the bonnet up...

Very hard to do what they did and keep it looking like NEW...

I doubt if anyone could do better.....

It was excellent.... Perfection.....
