Well I did the pie cut 1 1/8" worked out nice
![http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y320/vdubbles24/e24d61e0.jpg http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y320/vdubbles24/e24d61e0.jpg](http://i1025.photobucket.com/albums/y320/vdubbles24/e24d61e0.jpg)
The pic is dark but it give me the exact lift I was wanting. Had to notch hood for steering box.

Got 80% of the welds smoothed out, and sand blasted all the rattle can paint off.

Just another shot of the steering box section in hood.

In the pic of the cab you can see I got the gutters all lined up. Had to cut the bus gutter down about a 1/4" I think it all turned out nice. Wanted
to have it in primer but it didn't happen.

Made some headlight brackets.
Got em mounted up. Fit rather nice. The plastic made em nice and tight.

Should work OK, but if your headlights fall off, you may have to go to Carillos.![:lol: :lol:](images/smilies/lol.gif)
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

RHD pedals
Looks awesome mate, did you ever get RHD pedals?
Are you bringing it back to Oz or the UK?
If you want pedals I can get some do you need early or late?
