Hi Gang!! Here is my First build in my new home of Arizona!!! How fitting, a sweet old Bug!! This was built from a mint unstarted kit. (I know, it kills the value right?) The doors were really hard to make work, about 2 hours in just them alone. The engine was incorrect, the engine in the kit was a pre 63 without the fresh air system from the fan shroud. I added the hoses from the shroud to the engine tins and corrected the generator stand. This was the first year for the Beetle to use the flatter hubcaps. The ones included in the kit were way too thick, if they were real they would be 5 inches thick!! 
I took and sanded them down to a scale size thickness. Turned out pretty sweet. ;D -Louie
