I like the polar silver bug to begin with, but then you put it on an oval and it just screams my name. Very nice car indeed.

I will be making the first major change to my 56 shortly. Last night on Ebay, I was the high bidder on a set of early pop out windows. Once they arrive, I will evaluate what else I need for them in the way of hardware and seals and then order the stuff. Hopefully, I will get them installed before we get to deep into the summer.

I also bought an engine compartment tar board set last week. I was disapointed when it arrived as it was not really what I expected (looks like rubber). Part of my current tar board is from a late model Bug so I really want to change it out.
