Just remember you need a light for the alternator to get the signal to charge. Or do they have one wire alternators for Aircooled engines?
You should graft in a later model dash from a super beetle.

Good Point on the Alternator , I will figure something out. Maybe add the oil / generator lights to the three hole gauge cluster radio block off plate.
I usually drive with a Garmin and the speed on a Garmin is more accurate than a speedometer on a vw.

Im building this car for me, not to re sale, so Im not worried about what some people love or hate about the car.

Color should hit this week, but I said that 3 weeks ago, lol . I really think it will be this week or next , I think Jason Barnette is tired of me bugging him about it. This should have been done 2 months ago but I change my mind allot.
