Hi
Do TAFE still have the Beetle engine lid bottom as a project? I made one for an Oval I had at the time. Are you doing the journeymans course?

Nope, I think they stopped those courses a while ago - due to a lack of funding/interest. The current course I go to is "car restoration" where
there is one teacher, a class of about 16 guys ranging from hotrodders, pommy car guys and me  You bring in your own panels, work on them there, ask questions etc.

Hi
That sounds similar to what I did, you had to fail each year so that you could come back again next year. I met some really nice people, even my
future next door neigbour at the course.

I have cut my decklid and am grafting in some vents from a later '68-'70 to make it look like a cabrio. I was originally going to step the vents
and spot weld it in, but I decided i'd cut it and butt weld it in with the oxy - mainly so when you look at the underside it would be completely
smooth. I have just tacked one in so far

Also have been working on the bottom, using the slapper, hammer and dolly I have more or less got it good enough to use some lead filler. I just have
to figure out how to attach the sliding bit for the lock now.

Fixed up this rear bit, pretty minor. Good thing I had some roof section left over from the ragtop.

Looks good! I think CT hansen had his W decklid done with front baywindow kombi vents to look factory "correct". I sprayed those bits in a
booth.
Heh thanks barry. I will be going overseas for 2 months at chrissy so I have to save up! My goal is to get the thing painted before i leave I have been thinking of names, hmmm
Iron duke? Gandalf the grey?
