Did you notice the tail-pipe sticking out behind the tire?

The 1957 Beetle in my avatar eventually had the front valance replaced and it was painted Black Imron enamel (fenders, doors and hood) and Harvest Gold (roof, door tops and rear deck). They didn't spray the metallic (or the clear) right and it came out as a flat metallic gold.

Still thinking about a pickup? This is how it's done in South America.



The cab is cut to fit the back of the seat. The sunroof is concave and results in a 'wickerbill' at the rear of the cab. Subtly sophisticated aerodynamically. It appears to be a snap-in canvas piece, but could as easily be slump-molded plexiglass.

I may have my head down between now and this weekend.
