Re: My 59 Bug

I did a little on it today. I put on a new trunk latch that I bought. And also got a snap on ring to hold that darn spring on the stud. That kept getting on my nerves. I also took the hood off to weld the top part of it where the spring attaches. It was so stressed and cracked. It was previously repaired by someone but they braised it instead of welding it. Although I got it to work, it was difficult because the metal was thin due to rust. I will most likely be on the lookout for a replacement in the future.
