Here is my current project.
Started with this.
Image
Came with a Berrien Buggies frame.
Image
which has a Fiberglass floor pan.
Image
Made a belly pan out of an old sign
Image
Did some reconstruction of the glass.
Image
Smoothing things out.
Image
Moved the shifter back 5"
Image
Image
Brought home a twin.
Image
Bent up some tubing for a show cage.
Image
Image
Fitting the pods :furious:
Image
Image
Located the original Manufacturer in California Bugformance in Sunnyvale which is now closed. This is an original hood decal they had left over.
Image
Finished welding up the roll bar
Image
More glass work.
Image
repaired the dash
Image
Image
Installed the third brake light in the roll bar.
Image
And that is where I am at now. Sorry to all who have dial up but I had to bring you up to speed on my project.

Brian sold me YOM plates for my Bug. I got to see this up close. Mighty fine work for sure. That 3rd brake light in the roll bar is cool.

Air out that garage before you get cancer.......whoooooo!

Now that the sanding and bodywork is done I can give the garage a good cleaning
