Re: 68 Beetle
Well done. My VW story is a 58 that I bought for $75 in 1971. The engine was in a 5 gallon bucket except for what didn't fit in the bucket. Of course I overhauled it in the kitchen.

Just saw this. Great looking Bug. That color just screams old school.
Just saw a video on YouTube where a guy but a Subaru WRX engine into a Bug. Man that thing moved

This looks so lifelike. Great job.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Magnificent work on that Bug! I used to drive one in Minnesota, what a blast!
