WOW!!!
This thing is awesome!!!

I can't wait to see more!

 

[BullDog]

Not a lot to see.l.. but did make a lot of progress... basically finished the last rocker... welded all pin holes, minor body work to the roof... and a $h*t load of grinding. One more day of grinding and it'll be time to start on the inside. Here's a quick video walk around.

Them VW's keep getting more and more tempting, sweet looking project!

 

[BullDog]

Well I only had one section left uncut... so what the hell!

Shaved the center rib off the hood

 

[BullDog]

But left a little on the nose and tapered it to a point... It needed a little character.

And started the inner structure for the new hood line.

Nice job, turning out sweet.
I'm thinking real serious about getting into one of these as I watch the gasoline prices creep towards $4/gal.

Nice project

That is going to be BADA$$, I like your thought progress on the hood, that is going to be one nice ride when you are done. The wheel combo is just right. I gotta get a bug,..........
