Nice, so are the others your VW's too?

Interesting how the front end doesn't open up. How do you get to things up there? And the whole back, window and all opens? have any pics of that? Looks interesting good luck with it!

the buggy next to it is completed its vw there is nothing in the front to get to, just the front axel, the back window is on the front half of the car go to bugglife.com to see other pics

You relocated the gas tank? What about the brake fluid Res? I thought they were Up top in 66?

wow. that looks exactly like the gas tank for my 29 benz kit car. its aluminum, and its even painted the same color . nice work. i wish i could weld that nice

its not painted yet thats just steel

oh, lol. Looks great tho. I still wish i could weld that nice

you ready to part with the benz yet what do i have you need

Whatcha got? lol, i really don't want to get rid of it just yet. i definately want to get the new pan halves installed, because i've never done it myself yet. Maybe afterwards, but we'll see.

packed the rear hub bearings with grease and installed new well bearings an seals and ground on the rear end come more to get the frame ready for paint also got the inside sanded down slick also finished the out side just have to wipe some filler an preep a little more

well the little stuff that doesnt seem that important no one else will probably never notice is taking for ever but im aiming for bug jam the windscreen still has a 1/2 inch gap on each side got to build it up all i want is a 1/4 gap all the way around i hope the windscreen will be done by Tuesday night and the primer will be getting ready for the first coat oh yeah if you have to build a aztec the wind screen is for a 65 corvette hard top yeah it coasted a lot of bit more than a vw one that sucked. we also tig welded one of the wheels it had a flat spot were the po had a flat and hit the brakes and ground down the out side beed hope to get all the wheels in the lathe an polish the lip this week an mount the tires. well i hope to get a lot done this week i will post some more pics this week cause its time to through down.

That is one awesome project. It's the little things that no one else notices that make the difference. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more pictures.

well the aztec is not going to bug jam i hope to be painted in the next week or so i have the drop disk brake spindles heady to mont up an i still have to in stall the 911 rack anpinion stearing and come up with a steering colom any one got a steering shaft from a super beetle with u joints on each end if so pm me

the wind screen frame is finally finished i might massage it a little to day to make sure its right a also got the gauges out of a 914 installed they look awesome also took out the rear fire fall that was rotten ply wood to replace removed park brake an moved the shifter to that spot iv been getting down the last 2 days time to get back to work

took a door glss that wasnt broke to the glass shop and a patern for the rear glass to get the windows cut out i think im about to see over the hill

picked up my new door glasses Friday also the rear glass i was surprised it was only 92$ i was thinking it was going to be more than that well i hope to post some pics of what i have done some time this week

wel the body is coming off tomorrow i hope so i can mount the steering rack an install drop spindles will post pics of the progress on this to

pressed in the new balljoints an installed the drop spindles to day hope the tires get put on tonight i just got done polishing the wheels they look freaking awsome the mashine lip on the wheel is gone its slick as glass now hope to have some pics soon
