RIP Pete, a talent lost  Hopefully his son will do justice to the excellent work so far. Looks great Gregg, well worth the effort and you and your family will love the results I am sure! When can the shop tour be arranged?  Not that we ever made it to Paul's en mass….  PS. Are you going to grind off the rust from the exposed frame and cross members while it is easy to get at and treat them in some way…(i.e. zinc rich primer and paint)? |

Yes, rust will be ground out and coated. I asked Jason about a shop tour, so will let you know. I am sure the rat rod and Bug will be on display. Well worth a trip to see them. In one of those pics you can see that new heater pipe we had a guy do for us. I will get his name for the VW guys here shoukd they want that crazy bend. The price was right too. I think it was $100 for everything.

The doglegs fit okay. These were purchased from bus depot and came from Europe. Most of the purchased panels have fit pretty well. The only issue being the pillars. Had to order these from the U.K.
Inner B-Pillar Left LHD 68-79. 211-809-253 1 £32.50 £32.50
B-Post Outer Skin upto Waistline Left or Right 68-79. 211-809-251X
The other one ( a split bus pillar was ordered and then had to be fabricated to fit. Picture of it behind the passenger seat). They don't make them anymore for the bay windows.
