Front valance question
Ok, so I have what is bound to be a newbie question... So be kind. On the front valance of the wifes '68 bug, there is a circular cover. its located
fairly central in the valance, behind the bumper- kind of like where a crank handle would be inserted on a front engined car. I assume it is part of
an assembly jig mounting system, but not sure. I intend to weld it up and smooth it prior to paint, bu wanted to check that it's not essential
first.
Thanks in advance 
Newbie dubber- where does the coolant go???

The round plate on the nose panel and the plate behind the spare wheel are for the removal of the gear shift selector rod that runs in the tunnel..To
remove it for repairs etc it comes out through the front nose 
Welding it up might make your life hard in the future

Oh, right, that would make sense. Glad I asked question, I don't fancy the idea of taking the body off just to work on the shift rod...... Thanks for
the reply, possibly just saved me lots of work
