Start plumbing the coolant tubes #364
The radiator will be in the front nose of the VW bug. I need to run coolant tubes from the rear to the front. I will be using 1.25″ aluminum tubing for this. After I get the tubing mounted to the frame I will remove it to apply the heat shielding.
Finish e-brake install steering rack & rear brake line #363
The e-brakes have now been cabled up and I got my new rebuilt steering rack in. I have installed the steering rack and it works very good. I have a lot to do before I can put the VW bug body back on.
Rolling painted frame starting e-brakes #362
I now have a painted rolling chassis. It indeed looks a whole lot better with paint. The now slow and steady march to assembly starts with the parking brakes. I have to shorten the cables so I cut them and will fray and soldier the ends to the correct length.
The VW bug frame is finally painted Start reinstall #361
With the priming and filling complete, I can now spray on the Eastwood heavy duty chassis paint. I have given the paint about a week to fully cure so now it’s time to start bolting things back on. I have reinstalled the front running gear so that the frame can roll back over the engine and drive-chain. I need to lift and drop the frame slowly back in place. Hopefully nothing will get damaged.

Finish priming the custom VW bug chassis #360
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.
