Re: 1963 VW Convertible Build

Bolted the fenders on for good today, along with the color matched fender beading. Also installed the hood.




I stripped and painted the running boards, then installed new mats and stainless trim.






One of the driving light housings came in the mail today so I assembled it with a NOS Zelmot lamp I had already. The Zelmot is actually a 5.75" high beam lamp so I'll wire it in with a relay to kick on with the high beams for more distance visibility. There's minimal fluting molded into the lens so they'll have a narrower beam pattern than a typical high beam bulb for better long distance visibility.




And tonight I started polishing the interior paint, got about halfway finished.
