Re: 1966 aztec
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!

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.

Re: 1966 aztec
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.

Re: 1966 aztec
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.
