The 356 was finished painted a couple months ago. I will get some newer current pics of it in it's finished painted bodyshell state. The owner took
it home and is doing all assembly himself.

That sure is one very nice bit of work! I've been working on my 356 (1960 B coupe, ex.USA) for about a year. You sure have set a high standard.
Being a panel-beater (started in 1956), I know what is involved. Fortunately I kept all my tools, lead-wiping bats etc., and have replaced both door
bottoms (inner and outer) as you have done - oxy welded of course! The R/H drive conversion was tricky - swapping dash panel & glove box, but
turned out nice, WITHOUT bog. Need to correct some horrible Yank butchery - you know, slide hammer & 15 mm of bog etc. Should finish it in a
couple of years. If I work out how to post photos, I will do so.
Cheers, Greg
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
