sooooooo...
financially speaking, this project is going to put controlling the ground on my M3 on hold...
anyone got a problem with that?

[MrJereMoose]

Thanks! I'm getting so psyched on this! I can't wait to get the project started officially!

The fenders and hood have been mis-matched, courtesy of my uncle... I was pretty mad at the time, and i was like 4...

that decklid seems like a 67....

Headlights say otherwise, unless it is a Euro-spec 67' in which it would still have the older style headlights (or the car has older headlights/fenders on it).

Edit: Did a search...

1966 Decklid


1967 Decklid

as soon as the snow goes away, we're moving it to my place.

I'll start a build thread then!

Stay tuned!

65'-66' for sure! Really looking forward to where this goes...

i know this is on the extreme side, but if i had a beetle, i'd do something similar to this

I might be into it...

if i didn't already have a '31 Ford Model A Roadster body and frame, with a flathead ready to get built and a '39 Mercury rear end...

The bug won't be that radical, but I do enjoy that style

I like where this is going
