Ya know Im not a big fan of supers but this thing is the cats ass!! Youve basically taken out all the things I hate about the super and added the things I most like about 66 and older bugs. Very sweeeet. It even is ahead of my 66 in the fact it has the rag top. I got the slider and always wanted the rag!!

I'm almost starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And in that light lies my empty wallet. |

Living that dream my brutha. It will take months for me to recoup from the engine project. I usually take on one a winter.

Finally getting some color - If you take your computer monitor outside in the sun, you might be able to see some of the metal flake in the paint ;D It's got a purple / blue flake to match the blue "upper" color in the 2 tone paint scheme.   A big 'ol box from Sewfine arrived today.. seat covers, ragtop cover, some of the carpet...MUCH more to come.. And I picked up the custom 1/4 and door glass yesterday |

How much longer is the rear *housing* on the 72" cables. A 4" longer cable with the same sized housing does no good. I have to find out what size the cable that came with my brake kit is. I can only assume it's the 68". The air ride bracket barely interferes and the cable is very tight, and I did also tweak the chassis tubes up a bit. Even if the 4" won't allow me to run around the bump stop, I could suspend it up and it would clear the shock and the CV.

Now things are coming together!  That interior is going to be AMAZING with the color combo. I hope to one day see this thing in person. I'll bring extra towels to wipe up my droool.  |
