Wow those orange standard beetles always get cut up for dune buggys thats what my other buggy was before I chopped it up and made it into 55ovals new buggy I was just up at Dons and your body sounds like its gonna be done this week I picked up my new side pods from him make sure you call the day before you leave or you will be sitting around kelowna for a few hours waiting for him to answer his phone
Very cool...I was expecting the body sometime in mid-late July.
Got a little bit of buggy related stuff done today...also worked on the 66 for a bit
Got the rest of the body bolts removed...
cleared out some more misc stuff
cleaned up the underside of the gas tank....it was a replacement tank but it was installed in bare metal...so I cleaned it up and sprayed some tremclad rust paint on it, followed by rocker guard and a final coat of hammer finish tremclad...the spigot is just on there to keep the paint off of the threads...At any rate, it should keep the tank from rusting out on me
Looks good enough for the underside of a gas tank....so now that the bottoms taken care of, the top can get some "real" primer and paint....Think I'm going to paint it the same light tan color as the tank in 66
