I have been waiting on some parts to arrive for the redesign of the radiator assembly. The car starts to get a little bit too warm on hot days here in Dallas. The redesign starts with a large 2 core Griffin radiator and a rear mounted AC condenser. I am also building a shroud for the new 3600 CFM fan unit from FR dynamics.

All of the initial body work is now complete. I am priming the doors, deck lid and hood first. I painted the back side of all the panels before turning them over to do the front side.

Get VW bug hood and front end ready for primer #471
I have so many hours in this hood I could not possibly count them all. I am finally getting around to finishing all the body work on the hood. I am finally getting close to having the entire front end of the VW bug ready for primer. I have also fit an aftermarket rear deck lid. I will need to do a bit more body work on the rear fenders before I can primer the entire car.
