Anyone got pics of that Reichel 1303 featured in Hot Vw's?

I was just using that to compair. We have a couple of cars in our group with custom dash work.

I seen the article tonight while I was over at a buds house. He showed it to me because he knows I have a super. It did look good.

i tend to lurk around here... heck, i don't know if i ever even posted before....



this is a guy from western PA - out near pittsburgh. its a 73 super, and the dash is all steel. him and his brother do all their own work. i talked to them for a while at a local show, about their cars. very nice work indeed. this particular car has a streetbeatz sunroof that was molded into the roof as well. he said he'd never do that again... he'd go with an OG roof clip.

anyways... i'll see if i can dig up some more pics of his dash if anyone is interested, i only had this one on hand.

thats a 71 or 72 Super not a 73 & Up.
73 & up have a curved windshield and a more modern dash.

i hate to disagree with you on my 2nd post.... BUUUUUUT

look at the windshield. the picture below more clearly shows the car. it IS a 73, with a 71/72 style dash fabricated into the space where the big plastic 73+ dash should be. i have had numerous (including my current 74 that i kept ahold of for all of these years) super beetles... both 1302's and 1303's. i'm far from an expert by any means....

here's an outside shot of it

Hi

I could see how you could make a mistake thinking it was 1302, what gave it away to me was the size of the scuttle panel above the A pillar. Im still thinking about a custom dash for my 1303, but that a long way off yet.
