Don't expect to see this one for a while. Brent and Taylor want it perfect. This means a real attention to detail. IT will be stripped back down to expose some of the previous work (vomit) and we can start from there. Brent has done me the favour of choosing black as his colour so as I stated previously, don't expect to see this one anytime soon.
-
will you be posting updated pics as this one goes along?
should be great when it's all done

Jason I can setup a new gallery for your projects if you want......

That would be fantastic. Thanks Chris! Jamie will also have pics at www.moonlight.actop20.com
-
actually get James to set one up for you, he has a gallery configured as well, he could also configure one just for your website.
-
Geee good thing you came up with that idea..... [_[
-
while he is at it he could revamp your website and take out the sample flash opener and make it look really good!

Yes, Jason is right we are going to go black with a beige top. The body is fairly solid however there are some issues, the conv. support rails need to be replaced, the decklid needs some attention and the front apron. ( and the list goes on ). Once Jason blasts the car he will know what else needs to be done.

Well Russ, I couldn't take looking at the boxes of parts and the unfinished shell any longer. I have had it for two? years now and itching to get it done. Jason does great work and he was eager to take on the job.
I have chosen black (Jason wasn't too happy though haha) . I wanted a colour that I could still get collector plates (if I ever decide to go that route) as well as something that looks great. Unless someone can suggest another really cool colour, black it will have to be. The other colour that I thought looked great was the Diamond Green but I got talked out of it.
Anyway, I am really looking forward to getting it done!
Cheers, Brent

There are enough green cars around - find a unique color, there are lots of stockish kinds of colors around that aren't your everyday things:

Diamond green is one of my favorite VW color, but Black is beautiful!!
-
i agree Matt,i don't think anythiing beats a super straight black car
-
That green does look awesome! The colour decision was a \"family\"
thing and blk was the only one we could agree on!
We are hoping for the car to turn out like this :

diamond green's 15 minutes of fame are over.
i dig the black & tan combo. it's just like the beer. B)
-
I prefer the diamond green personally. But a black car with a perfect finish well... Only this can be said :o
Black just seems to \"played out\" In my own personal two centine opinion. Yet nobody can argue with a perfectly striaght black car(But really what panels on a beetle are actually straight?)
-
The curves make it almost more difficult as it really casts all the imperfections at almost every angle. But I agree with Brent and family. Black is what its gotta be.
-
diamond green's 15 minutes of fame are over.
how so,i don't think we even have a diamond green beetle local here
it all boils down to personal choice thats what building a car is all about.
my favorite colour right now is probably a tangerine or close to what james has in the copper tone.
i just don't want to go too wild right now :D
-
You know what I think is the new hot colour?
Similar to tangerine but its called Colarado and its a 70's bmw colour.
Do a cremesickle kind of two tone...
Example of Colarado

Yeah I think once it's all done with the chrome and top it will look sweet.

russ, i totally agree that it is all up to the owner of the vehicle.
imo, no one even knew that diamond green was a stock vw colour untill aaron broughton and joe maestas made it \"famous\". now everyone and their dog wants a diamond green beetle. but to each their own. i fully support owners to do what they wish with their vehicles. some'll like it and some'll wont.

hey, dont you work at kcw?? :lol:

Brent, you cant go wrong with Green! ;)
-
Red Snapper,
Ya I couldn't agree more with you as I really love the combination of your green/ beige top. That is were my idea originated from. Black/beige is what its gotta be. :rockon:

HEY! Did you pay for the rights to say KCW?
NOBODY is allowed to even mutter the words KCW without the written consent of their whole group of godly-like hack-job \"gods gift to VW's\" employees! Because we all know what they're doing is rocket science and nobody else in th VW community has ever even attempted something nearly as daring as *gasp* putting a link-pin beetle front beam in a type 3!
KCW licks ass. My bro could pull off better shit than those chumps with his eyes closed.

oops, there I go again being an asshole.

hmmm....tell us how you really feel.

no really, that's how I feel! :lol:

you and i are seeing eye to eye on this one, my friend.
-
Hey Silas, you makin' an appearance on Saturday or what?
-
Come on Gutterslug tell me how I really feel,
The only thing I like about KCW Is how fast they turn around a car from bare metal to paint. They aren't that original and who the hell expects people to pay to get on there website and see them rebuild cars for big profits???

Huh? :blink: I'm not followin' ya there Kirin. But if ya think I'm trashin' you I wasn't at all trying to man, sorry.
As for KCW:
I've tried to get a hold of those guys before with absolutely no luck at all. And any place that wants me to pay to see there products before I buy it can .... well I'm sure you can fill in the rest.

Hey Silas, you makin' an appearance on Saturday or what?
