HERES SOME MORE PICS OF THE PROGRESS:







IM HOPIN I CAN GET THE BODYWORK DONE AS WELL. YOU KNOW FINISHING UP THE FRONTEND AFTER THE BEAM EXTENSION, GETTING ALL OR MOST OF THE DINGS AND DENTS OUT, ETC. BEFORE I START PUTTING PAINT ON. IM HOPING TO GET IT DONE BY BUGORAMA AT THE LATEST THE IMPORT SHOW IN NEVADA CITY ON JUNE 4TH. WITH THIS WEATHER LATELY ITS SLOWED ME DOWN THO. SO IM HOPING I CAN GET BACK ON TRACK IT MAY NOT GET DONE TILL THE NEXT ONE THO. ILL DO MY BEST

LETS SEE IS THIS FOR THE CHAT DEAL OR ANOTHER WAY TO REPLY ON THIS THREAD

A NEW WAY TO REPLY. OK COOL

i can reply this way

Me too.

OK.....FINALLY SANDED DOWN EXCEPT THE WHEEL WELLS. READY FOR JUST A LITTLE FILLER THEN PRIMER AND PAINT. HOPE TO BE BACK ON THE ROAD SOON TILL THEN THE FASTY WORKS GREAT (EXCEPT THE FUEL GUAGE) I DONT WANT TO SPEND $80 FOR A SENDING UNIT

Isn't this whole project coming off a little, well... gay?

WHYS THAT. JUST CUZ I DONT HAVE TO RIDE AROUND INSIDE A HERBIE (MALE)

I LIKE MY CAR. DONT CARE IF ANYONE ELSE DOES IT UNIQUE JUST LIKE ME

AFTER PLANNING A QUICK AND EASY COLOR CHANGE ON THE PAINT JOB IT HAS GOTTEN DEEPER AND DEEPER IN DEPTH. I ORIGNALLY FIGURED A COUPLE DAYS SANDING AND A GOOD COAT OF PRIMER THEN PAINT. A WEEK OR TWO TOPS WORKING A FEW HOURS A NIGHT.

AS OF SUNDAY THE 22 IM NOW 3 WEEKS STARTING THE 4TH INTO IT AND HERES SOME MORE OF THE PROGRESS IVE MADE ON THE NEWLY NAMED BAJA VOLKSROD OR BAJA VROD OR BAJAROD:










AS IT STARTED GETTING DEEPER I HAD PLANNED ON GETTING IT DONE BY BUG O RAMA BUT NOT GONNA HAPPEN. I HAVE IT ENTERED INTO THE IMPORT SHOW IN NEVADA CITY ON JUNE 4TH SO DONE OR NOT ITLL BE THERE. I HOPE I HAVE IT DONE BY THEN THO.

I HAVE GOTTEN 99% OF THE BODYWORK DONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DONE ONE WET SAND WITH 220. ABOUT 89% OF THE DRIVERS SIDE BODYWORK HAS BEEN DONE (DAMN REAR QUARTER IS TAKING FOREVER TO GET LEVELED OUT). ILL GET THAT SIDE WET SANDED THEN ANOTHER GOOD COAT MAYBE TWO OF PRIMER WET SANDING AND THEN PAINT. AFTER THAT ILL NEED TO BARROW YOUR WINDOW YOUR GLASS INSTALLER DANN TO GET THE GLASS BACK IN AND SHE WILL BE ON THE ROAD AGAIN. IM HOPING BEFORE THE JUNE 4TH SHOW. THEN THE NIGHTMARE OF CLEANING ALL THE PAINT DUST AND ALL OUT OF THE GARAGE

YES I DID AND IT DOESNT EVEN COME CLOSE TO MINE IVE GOT A RED DUST ON EVERYTHING . WHEN I DID THE PASSENGER SIDE WET SAND I WASHED SOME OF IT OUT BUT ITS STILL EVERYWHERE

You said "rod!"

That one quarterpanel just makes you want to smear a 3/16 slab of bondo on it, but you're going about it the right way.

Tinkerbell looks great.
How about pink with some nice flowerboxes under the rear quarter windows?
Petunias would be nice, or maybe some nice Impatients.

Cliff is 'edgier' than petunias or impatients.

I know they are hard to keep, but some nice orchids would give him that edge he is looking for.

And instead of flower boxes, I would go with hydroponics.

They seem to fit better with the VW scene.

I also like "Sally Sloppyseconds."
Gives her a fun-loving twist without ignoring her whorish side.

KYLE YOU CRACK ME UP

Here you go, pre-made and everything.

That's the ticket right there.
