1973 V8 Super Beetle Front Engine Conversion - 283 SBC

[V8SuperBeetle]

Here's another shot of the rear "fire wall". Did some more welding last night, but ran out of wire. Gotta slowly weld it up so it doesn't warp to crap.




On a side note, here's my collection of "Summit Racing's" line of paint and tools to get the job done. Being I'm on a tight budget, I plan to paint the car myself and having heard good things about it, I decided to give it a try. For $400, what can go wrong painting your first car. ;D




I have...

• Sanding blocks
• Rolls of various grit of sand paper, some where in there.
• HVLP gun
• Epoxy primer (galon)
• 2K high build primer (galon)
• Hugger Orange, single stage (galon)
• Black, single stage (galon)
• High Solids clear coat (galon)

The rest is their activators, hardeners, surface wash, and wax / grease remover.

I also have a quart of Master Series chassis coating for the engine bay and for under the deck lid.


Here's a recent article about the paint. If that chick can do it, I can. And yes, the chick in the picture actually painted the car. Read the article. ;D
