Yessssssssir Steve. Thanks, here's yesterday and today's progress....
Look at the Big head trouble here! . . . . . . . .
Got it home and covered now so I can get back to the final underbody cleaning and get the bus to the shop for paint... _________________ '58 RHD 2110cc Beetle

I guess you guys understand more of why what we create here costs so damn much after this assembly?? I like Mike's determination. _________________ Jake Raby

I definitely understand and appreciate what goes into each build now! What a valuable learning experience this time on the 'Mountain ' has been. _________________ '58 RHD 2110cc Beetle

Finally finished removing paint/coatings from the bus. Took it for a 'sand cleansing' trailer ride yesterday and used an industrial vacuum at work to clear all the crevices......
Just got to paint/recoat the bottom and weld up several screw holes in the floor now before I take it to the body shop for massaging and paint. _________________ '58 RHD 2110cc Beetle

Nah, it's got the first coat of primer on it now so it doesn't look much different, the shop's painter has been ill for a few days so the paint got delayed... _________________ '58 RHD 2110cc Beetle
