Finally paint. I can finally put paint to frame. This has been a long time coming. I hope I didn’t forget anything. The primer is Eastwood’s rust encapsulator to insure that the frame will not rust. The primer has been forced, as best I could, into all the cracks and crevices. I will now need to paint it with Eastwood’s heavy duty chassis paint.

Start priming and filling the VW bug frame #359
Finish cutting pass-through holes in VW bug frame #358
Start cutting pass-through holes in rear fire-wall #357
I need to drill out the holes in the rear fire-wall for various tubes. There is a gas tank filler neck tube, two holes for the heater core runs, two holes for the A/C runs, one hole for the hydraulic clutch line and one for the rear brake line. Once all these holes have been drilled I can continue on with the painting.
E-brake cable runs inside of the VW bug frame #356
Flip frame back over – upright, finish up a few things #355
Finish painting the bottom of the VW bug frame #354
Prime and smooth out the VW bug frame bottom #353
First….that black stuff on my fingers is POR 15 seam sealer (bad idea) it took 2 weeks to wear off. Anyway I am preaty much
finished with the primer coat on the bottom of the frame. The primer is the Eastwood rust encapsulator and it went on very
smoothly. After I paint it with the gloss black chassis paint I will flip it back over to finish the other side.
