A jobs not worth doing if you don't do it right, who wants to be travelling in a rust bucket?
I'd paint the dash, you go through all that work, at least make the interior look new and nice.
Do you ever even get close to finishing a project?
Hi CT, just now commenting but watched this the other day. Very good work on installing the tray. Do you plan on finishing all the patchwork inside before installing on the chassis? Actually I'd finish it and paint it before loading on the frame
Ok , I'm caught up with the 65…can't wait to start on my 57…basically same work needed other than the window work. Looks great , coming right along !
love the progress your making on the beetle. Looks great
I think you can use fine steel wool to cleanup rust on some paint just not a lot of scrubbing
No matter what you decide it's going the be great
Not necessarily you can have a awesome inside with patina on outside and still have and awesome looking car inside and out
Doesn't the package tray have to get weld in the engine compartment yet
I really like this 65 beetle man
GO GO GO, do it. Use the engine you got and other stuff. Looks good…. Finish this one and enjoy driving it.
I would paint he dash, and all the interior sides of the doors. then put Brick red interior on there. that way it is super clean inside and patina outside.
I want to see how do you fix the radio hole on the dash, also I will let the patina on doors and dash too, just a little of polish on them.
Let me start by saying I am not a patina fan but I would finish paint the entire interior
Could are doing a great job
I have a suggestion, which could be the best way to preserve your seams… First soak the seams with some antioxidiser, allow it to do it's job, then blow the seam with the air gun. Once dry, get a small bit of paint, make it thin and soak the seam. Leave it to dry and clean the running excess. Then seal it and it should be the best possible way to get it done for a long time, except if you're planning to dip the whole body in chemicals.. Cheers, keep on.
