In looking over the projects I realized that while I had a thread on the fasty, I hadn't made a project thread for my bug. So here goes, 75 1303 Convertible Name: Clem My Mom bought it New from Gezon Motors The hood is original as is the color, Clementine Orange Rebuilt / New Items: Engine Entire Braking system Entire Fuel system Tires Future Plans: German look, resto mod This is a on going project, the car has been running for about two years.  Some cool keystones   |

Before the car goes very far from the west side of the state I need to do 3 things: Pay off the rest of the car, fix the hole in the convertible top and fix the super beetle shimmy that the car has. All of these things require money which I don't have right now.

I like the hood,maybe because it is different and it is something you would see back in the day.
I could not add it to mine but if I had Clem I would not take it off.

Yes it did. I can now actually hear the car running while it is moving with the top down. There is no baffle inside the tip. Its so much nicer than the pea shooters it had before.

Hey Kirby,
There is a Rolls glass front end advertized on either the Harsh Winters site or CCVW. FREE for the taking/ coming to get, if I find it before you I'll relay the info.

Hey Kirby, it is on the Harsh Winters site, in the Bug for sale and wanted classified section, Green Meanie has it. If you want I'll check and see if there is a #. Don't listen to those who don't like your hood, it's not theirs and they have no say. Later Kenn
