Picked up ( well traded ) a clean '64 Bug from Steve-O last month. :thumbs: Hadn't really done much to the car because of work. :roll: I got all the parts minus a few missing parts. Right now I'm working on the chassis. I've got the rear spring plates & torsion bars off and next strip the frt beam so it can get cleaned up. I'm going to use POR-15 thanks for Ethan showing me the spray can they have now. :dance: Last time I used Por-15 was brushing it on and lets say it didn't look good on my jack stands and floor. LOL!!
