  1. also added some wiring to under the hood.
  2. finally came up with a way to attach the roof rack to the car, not a big fan of it, just not sure of any other way of adding it to the bug itself. Kind of Gilligan's Island style.
  3. Matched the color of the running boards to the color of the sliding rag top.
  4. I actually hand carved two surfboards for this car. I may put the junk in the back seat area and the surfboards on the roof. Or the boards first then the junk.
  5. David, yes they are skulls, I should have painted them a little darker, they are hard to make out. I put rhinestones in the eye sockets to look like led's.
  6. roof rack done. Just need to figure out a way to attach it to the car.
  7. going to make a chain steering wheel for this build.
  8. Lil update, still working on my real mini cooper to get it to run, but got some work done on the vw.
  9. Thank you, I have not had an update most of February as my second daily driver mini cooper took a dump on me and have been working daily on trying to get it to run again. More to come soon.
  10. David, thank you. The picture I uploaded right before this post is the idea I have for the hood, kinda like a rat rod that has aspirations to be made in to a show car. Alot of the old lowriders that were on the show circuit have ended up in the junk yard, all faded out and dull paint. That is what I am looking to make the hood look like.
  11. I found another heat sink from an old electronic device, thinking of adding it to this build.
  12. Got the air cooler finished and installed in the door. Now just have to add some support rods and call this project done done.
  13. Erik, thank you for following my builds. I thought by now I would be over losing the other in progress builds by now. Almost a year since it happened, but still cuts deep. Hopefully some day I can chalk it up to just a bad mistake.
