    It looks 50 years old because it's taking him so long. :rolleyes:

    Great work Dick, now order the bumpers already and work on getting the motor back in. :Thumbsup:

    I get to get a little jump on the weekend... Work let us go a couple hours early, so...
    Time to start masking stuff off!

    If I am lucky, the first stages of the candy coats will be going on around midnight! :D (Yes you read that right, I will be working late in an attempt to get this project done!)

    The only thing I don't understand is after all the hard work you've done, why does your car look like an old peace of crap? :D

    Well because...

    I guess I just like different! :)

    Still waiting for this thing to get fully hardened so I can rub the bumps off, and get it ready for the final clear.

    I think that Beetle is sweet! There are a ton of things I would have done differently, but to each their own. Going rat gives total creative freedom, and if somebody else doesn't like everything or anything about it that just opens the door for new ideas by the next guy...

    I cant even count the number of times I thought I screwed the paint up this weekend! Luckily what I thought was going to screw it up, just made it better! :)

    SANDING AND?





    Yup, still SANDING! (Hey perfect mixed with rusty turd, is not an easy mix, but keep at it long enough... It will polish up.) :D

    OTOH, it could have been a POS to start with, so ratting it out was the only way to save it from crumbling into a pile of rust. :cool:

    Spray-on rust. Before long, some company will come up with Spray Rust in a Can - maybe call it Unrustoleum! :frown2:

    ModFather, I'm hoping I can get out to meet you when I'm in Denver this week. I'll bring you a cigar or two to celebrate with! :Thumbsup:

    Nice take on the STP sticker. Don't forget Dean Moon's Mooneyes.
