Why does everyone have to mention the "roof" as being soooo big.. I mean--if we tell ourselves that it's small--then it's small. But, if there's the voice of reason in the room sayin it's big--it's depressing!!! :-)
Luckily--aside from the forehead of the roof on mine--it's nice and smooth.. thankfully..

Thanks guys im gonna have to lean on the side of huge and depressing so im told.previous owner decided on a roof rack then removed it but decided to bondo over the holes, body guy has repaired the holes and stripped most of the roof for now will post the progress soon.

picked up the rest of the front end fenders and grill surround, these new parts are kinda cheesy but i guess they will have to do.

[69 chevy 1]

also finished picking up all my window sliders,picked up a custom steering wheel and horn ring, also had all my custom trim straightened and re anodized came out perfect,also bought up some nos rear tail lights and back up lights

[69 chevy 1]

[69 chevy 1]

pictures dont do the trim any justice but it was a very clean set of mouldings to start with now its pretty perfect,i gues im kinda all over the place frame body vw parts and still working on my brothers 67 so i havent had time to work on any of the burbs real parts like windows, vents and other goodies but its coming

[Nobby]

Looking good man...Great collection of parts and I love the V dub

[69 chevy 1]

Thanks Nobby your burb is killer,thanks on the vw the wife has staked a claim on that one,not much happening on the burb but it will, seems everyday i get more pumped after reading these builds

[hemifalcon]

....man--where'd you get the tail light lenses???

[69 chevy 1]

hemi i bought them at the pamona swap meet in california ,ive been looking all over for them and they where not cheap, the owner knew what he had lol and he knew they did not reproduce them,i paid the nos price.i bought a used set a while back because i had none.
