Looks great! That beetle bug sure brings back a lot of memories for me! It's even the same color as the one we use to cruise around in.

Jack - he said that's how mine moved quicker...all he had to do was remove the fenders & running boards...treat the car for surface rust, prime & spray....said he spent more time putting it back together than prepping it for paint.

& I handed him all new weatherstripping & all new brightwork (to include running boards & bumpers) so everything came out of a box to go on the new paint.

Upholstery guy got all new everything for the interior - down to interior door pulls & clips to hold panels.

No, this one will stay completely stock - even down to the "radio delete" plug on front where antenna would've gone & no cut out in for radio in dash...only has 57,000 one owner, little old lady (my mother-in-law) miles!

Interior's bone stock & all original - today....just took it to the upholstery shop for new headliner, panels, seats, carpet/floor mats....I'll take photos when that's finished (but, you're right, I need to go over & take 'before' pics)

Tony does not like to waste pics, after all these digital things are so expensive. Or maybe it is his trigger finger is getting old and tired.

looks great ... owned three when i was young (er) ... 63, 65, and 68. the 68 was an "automatic stick" with a torque converter. what a nightmare. anyway besides the 68, they were great cars. i can't say which rust worse ah sprites or vw beetles.
.
i remember being stuck in a parking lot at pennstate with a car full of friends trying to back out of a parking spot. it took almost 5 minutes before the car began to move. dang torque coverter. anyway .. looks great .. i'm sure jacks happy too!

Looks really nice, Tony. Always had a soft spot for old bugs. Might have to add one to the fleet some day.
