wolfsburg crest for a '54

can anyone give me any ideas as to how i install a hood crest on my 54? it did not have one originally, but i know its a correct option for the ol girl, i just dont want to booger her up, id rather do it right the first time. any advice is appreciated. keep the dirty side down.

I had to put 1 on a 58 that didn't have the correct hood. I t was from a 63-67 and also had the hump for the VW emblem. I measured up from the hood handle to the holes for the crest from Drew 61 and drilled 2 small holes at the top and bottom of each slot, then carefully drilled holes in between until I was able to connect them all with the drill bit. Just take your time and don't put too much pressure on the bit as to not break it. You might be able to find someone local to let you make a template from there hood. Good luck.

Here's a few pics I had put on a thread on the Samba a while back. Maybe they will help. This is from my 62 hood.

Nice job, Eric, but how many Millimeters is that?

Well, that's quite simple Pete. Just use this easy formula to convert inches to mm

[(sinx)(sin2x)+(sin3x)(sin6x)]
---------------------------------- X tanx +1 ((y^4+6y-1)/(y^2+5))
[(sinx)(sin2x)-(sin3x)(sin6x)]

Thanks, Eric, that's what the interwebs are all about!!
