Heater Channels are coming!

IMG_4867

With some extra tax refund cash I was finally able to order a set of heater channels for my ‘71 Super Beetle. As you can see above they are quite gone(drivers side in similar shape) and I’ve got my work cut out for me(pardon the pun). I ordered them from California Import Parts online and they should be arriving in the middle of next week. The poor car has sat cold and lonely most of the winter unfortunately. The weather is warming up and I’ll be able get to work on it in earnest. Wish me luck!

Bid for Classic VW Beetle restoration

Chris Vallone (whom I’m a huge fan of) of Classic VW Bugs has added a new twist to his “Build-A-Bug” program. He has now offered up a 1962 Beetle sedan on Ebay. That in itself is nothing new but what your bidding on is the restoration service on the Bug itself. Here is the Bug(click on picture to go to Ebay Auction):

It already looks better than my 71 Beetle I’m working on. It’s an interesting concept and judging by the quality of his work I’m sure this idea will work out great. Good luck Chris!
