Ted,
Thanks for the research on the original color for the Bug.
That's the color we painted it.

Best experience of a life time......kudos to loving parents.......I bet there's not a single member here that doesn't have a huge smile on their old mug after reading this post !

Plus that's one terrific Bug restoration......Wow !!! Being eight has benefits .......just make sure the driver has his safety gear on when he takes it out for a test drive !

Wow thats one awesome gift, very happy for John. That was my dream Christmas gift about 55 yrs ago. Thanks to Mike and Dave for helping out. Merry Christmas

Karen, very nice indeed! The kudos for the Dodge color ref came to me a LOOONG time ago from Russ Smith, and he got it from Dewey Bagley. Kart looks exactly like my Pop's first Wasp after he dumped the slow Mc5 for an Mc10. I put a ton of laps on that Wasp. Bob McCulloch sent Pop a very early stroker kit, and away it went.  Ted
