<p>Here are the latest pics. I installed the tailights and got the steering wheel situation figured out. Installing the tailights sounds easy, but there is 8separate parts to each light assembly. That all have to be assembled just right and screwed together. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/roll.gif" alt="image"> The steering wheel didn't fit right so I did a little MORE homework and alsoemailed my bug buds at The Samba to see what I was missing. Well it turns out I had all the parts assembled correctly, I just didn't have the right gapsand adjustments. Then I didn't realize I had turned the wheels and installed the steering wheel a little off center....dammit.<br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1370.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1368.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1366.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1369.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><br>Enjoy, Steve</p>

Not to take away from the gorgeous job being done on the bug ....<br><br>.... but has anyone else noticed the reflection in the FLOOR !!! <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eek.gif" alt="image"><br><br>I'd be paranoid working in a shop like that for fear of spilling something ! <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif" alt="image"><br><br><br>Mark.

I've been a little busy on the Beetle this last week and 1/2. I made a list of the things I need to finish the assembly, I sent the speedometer out forrestoration, installed the glass and all the moulding in both doors (1st door took over 4 hours, second took 2), did some more touch up buffing and polishingand a few other minor things. But they all add up.<br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1425.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1424.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1433.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>Ooh look .... headlights.

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! You know that when you get it done, you're going to have to shoot a picture of it, in identical pose as the one in your sig, but mirroredon the other side!

I was going to install peanut turn signals on top of the fenders.... but the Boss talked me out of that today.. I am going to run ambers in the headlightmarker lights. I got the seat material off the front seats, sandblasted the frames and springs, sanded them, primed, and then painted the frames champagne andthe springs black. I also installed the vin plate back on the body, I used adhesive to fix it in place (I ground off the back side of the rivits and also gluedthem in place) I did some other misc things for later installation.<br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1374.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1449.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1373.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1437.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1439.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1442.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>Speedometer before pic :<br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1365-1.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1444.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1445.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>Enjoy, Steve

Jon and I were busy today going thru the parts boxes of new and used VW parts. We put it on the wheel dollys, and turned it around in the stall so I can accessthe front wiring. I bought some Kentucky air brakes for the rear awhile back so we fit them on the rear. I had to make some mods to the brackets and them I hadJon blast them so I could repaint them.<br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1462.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1464.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1469.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1463.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>Enjoy, Steve

OK, this is going to sound stupid; Kentucky air brakes? Are you referring to the mud flaps?<br><br>Bob Jordan
