Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

You're asking about the oval, correct? What year is it?
I have some tail light housings and brackets for 56-60 but no bulb holders or reflectors and I don't have any of the 56-57 front bullets. If it's before that it would have had semafores and I definitely don't have any of those. Let me know what you need. I have a friend that will probably have it.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

When you guys get ready to put motors together for your bugs let me know. I worked at VW Paradise for 4 years before i joined the Navy and am still good friends with those guys. They build the baddest $hit on the planet.

Why is it one you get bitten by the vw bug you are always infected. I've had a 63 original rag and a factory metal sunroof 66. Now building something both of them fit in! Lol

Those inner fenders look like they were meant to be there. Nice work! Great to see all that hard work paying off!
