I realized that I failed to install Eleanore’s proper VW Beetle hood cable tube for a 1956 VW Beetle after I grafted on a different front end… this was especially important because its supposed to be welded to the body, before Earl would have painted it last year. Since this didn’t happen, I decided I should add some copper accents to the trunk area instead. Now this is something nice, I think! Also, I poured a generous “CREATIVITY JUICE” and decided I wanted to see what the VW Beetle wider fiberglass fenders looked like on Eleanore! So I started by mounting the front ones on there temporarily! She looks good!

Psssssssss….. Haha! More copper fun times to come!
Where did you get that engine on the DoodleBastard? I'm going to throw one on my doodlebug.
She’s a beaut Clark
Dot line would of worked great to..
I agree black for the latch
Wow the front fenders make it look sweet love the look.
Hello everytime I see bee she make me smile. Even if iam having a bad day.she is beautiful lady.
Hay duckman what are you doing.With a dirty knob.Polish your knob man.Your King of the Volswagens Shine.
If you want you could polish the tube then clear coat it and install it. As far as the fuel sender, could you not route it along the hood latch tube to the front of the tank then up to its final position?
Zinc Chromate. Yuk! Engineering job I had years ago had a need for plating on v-belt pulleys. Diesel engines, many outside in the elements. They were scratching their heads wondering where to have it done. I piped up: "There's a plater in the Industrial Park behind my house"! 😉
Slightly longer fender bolts, some nice looking P clips and a lock nut. The tube runs right beside every bolt already. Easy fix and non offensive in the looks department. You can get vintage style guages with GPS speedometer too. Would save on that extra cable run.
It’s a steal cable tube for a reason the copper tube is a soft metal and if you put in the bug the wire will cut your copper like a saw. I thought you were Going to do it right spend the money and get the replacement cable after spending all that money on the paint and all that work and you had that 57 in the shed I mean I can’t watch you anymore.
When did you work on those headlights (not Bee)? I missed that video
Thank you !
