Kentucky air brakes! <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/roll.gif" alt="image"><br><br>This may not sound like much, but it is about the highest compliment I can ever give on a restored car: It looks so incredibly <em>correct</em>!

<p>Here's the latest update !!!! My '59 Beetle interior is ORDERED !! I ordered it last night from Wolfsberg West in California. It is being custommade just for my bug. New carpet (custom made with heat delete), floor mats for the early '55-'57, tunnel mat, door and 1/4 panel trim custom made withash tray delete, seat covers (brick red with white piping, just like original with sewn seams) rear carpet padding, new interior stainless, new seat pads...and other small misc parts. I am JACKED !! All I'm lacking in parts is Bumpers and Hubcaps and.... seatbelts. My speedometer is in Corona CA gettingrebuilt, so I should be getting it back soon. Here are some pics of what I've been up to yesterday and today.<br><br>I made patterns for the panels under the rear seat bar:<br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1521.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>This is where they go:<br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1519.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>1/4 inch plywood cut and trimmed to fit:<br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1520.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/MI65IMPALA/59%20Beetle%20pics/IMG_1522.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>I plan on getting them covered in vinyl by the trim shop that did my headliner.<br><br>Enjoy everyone, Steve<br><br>I could have bought these panels, but they come with holes for the heat to come through. Well I don't need no stinkin' heat so I decided to make myown.</p>

I'm wiping the drool off my keyboard and picking my jaw back up from the floor.<br><br>Excellent as always Steve!<br><br>Bob Jordan

Oh, my good god ... unbelievable!!!<br><br>For those of us that don't speak German..<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/roll.gif" alt="image"><br><br>Thanks guys.<br><br>Bobby J, I can't wait at this point to drive this Bug all around Fort Wayne. Then after I break it in..... ROADTRIP !!!!<br><br>Steve
