Are you going to paint the whole body shell or just the outer panels?

What motor are you using in it - Type 4 or other? M

very nice man. I used to really be into the old school V dubs in high school. Lots of fun, but not made for a man of my size.

I've always like looking at and driving the air-cooled Bugs. Best of luck.

One of few only V-Dubs I would ever consider driving. Add to that the Kubelwagen, Karmann Ghia, and perhaps the Scirocco.
