What a perfectly wonderful car. Are you sure it's turquoise? It looks pastel blue to me. I'd look into ways to remove that green paint..

Yikes! Check out that nasty wood panel attempt on your dash. Yuck! Hope that's coming off asap. Looks like you've got a real good ride there. Other than a daily driver, what are your plans with it?...

Yup. Seen worse for sure. I bet it was adorable when freshly painted.

I've heard on The Samba that oven cleaner and some elbow grease will take that paint off, but amazingly it leaves the factory paint unscathed.

looking good!just out of curiosity how bad is the rust on this car (speaking as a Californian) that lower quarter looks pretty crusty
View ArticleRe: Bob's 1961 sunroof
