I started with a 1958 Sedan with a good pan but very rusted Body
I saved the pan & junked the main body after I stripped it and I mean stripped. Completely rebuilt the pan,sand blasted, painted & undercoated, everything new. Wheel cylinders, brakes shoes, all the brake hardware, brake hoses, metal brake lines, master cylinder, heater cables, emergency cables, shocks, tie rods, king & link pins, torsion arms seals, wheel bearings & seals, retapped every threaded hole, the works have approx. 90 hours and about 300.00 into the pan. |

Next came the Body, Found a '75 standard Bug
The body was orginally from Florida pretty much rust
free, only some minor spots in the common areas.The price was right 500.00 for the whole car with engine, the nice part it's was all disassemble.Had new pans tacked in,I kept the '58 pan wanted the older look and a rougher ride. (I know should have kept the R.I.S. pan).I sold the pan for 300.00.
Started to do the body work, Oh what fun that was.
Got a good deal on a used mig welder(flux core) Worked out fine, Had some welding classes years ago kinda like riding a bike,
