shouldnt need a special flasher, but if you get a hyperflash problem, just need to add a small resistor in line.

Thanks for the comments. 12V system, I have heard about the regular bulb trick. ( thanks Pedro ). These bulbs are from Ron Francis wiring as well as the bases. I have been a little bit worried about people not paying attention to brake lights and figured this was the better idea.

Couple of shots of the left side of the car. Got to swing the car to the right side. The Pedro panels are beautiful. Thanks again.

More sanding today. Right side 1/4 panel, reprimed the panel last night, final sand this evening. I really do not like sanding the louvers. I have no finger prints left, there has got to be a better way. Tried wood paint stick, folded paper, today was using a plastic spreader. Seemed to do the trick.
Anyone have a suggestion for the next car?

Had some time in the spray booth and got my bumpers painted.
The little jobs seem to take the time. As Bobnotch says, a little work is still work.

A shot of the front. I removed the license plate lump and filled the bumper reinforcement holes.

Looking good! And yes I agree with Bob any work is progressing the project along.

Wow. Love it.

I remember that car from back in the day.
It was also in a California Caravan special in HotVWs too, right?
Wasn't it featured in show coverage also?
Funny how things turn out..
This was one of those cars that totally inspired me way back when.

Sad to see it gone now, actually, what a piece of history, but what you are building now makes it worth it..


That silver Notch was built by KCW, for Howard Creps, IIRC.
It had a lot of unique things about it - torsion raise, some creative cooling air ducting, etc..

Making it look easy!

Thanks for the compliments. Yeah I was hoping that the colors would be back in style I was hoping to redo the trip to California again, so that is one of the reasons for getting my butt in gear and getting it done. The cool thing is when we did that trip, no Internet, cell phones were the size of carry on luggage,no gps . We booked all the hotels by phone, had maps to look at state by state. We met some great people at the shows, and the Caravan was a blast. I think that going now we would need more time to do this, we would have to stop by and see all the samba members.

Sorry for the lack of pictures. Sanding and filler primer and sanding some more. I am beginning to wonder if the end is near. I finished the right door and right front fender. Need to finish around the panels on the right side and prime and sand, tomorrow.....
Since I sand and fill and sand at work, doing my own stuff is starting to get tiring. Sorry for the rant....

No pictures, just a little update. I misplaced the camera and the laptop is giving me some grief. Sanding is almost finished, a little more to go. I have some garage cleaning on the go, but I am going to be painting it next week. Pictures will be posted.
The plan was to drive to Arizona for the Invasion, but some family issues have put that on hold. We will still be attending, just flying out.

Thanks for the comments. I am trying to get it in the booth next week. Hey GP, it looks like the invasion would be on the east coast 2018. Not sure where, but some time in July, John Jaranson would be looking for hosts as well as locations.

So we loaded up the truck and took the square to the paint shop.

Spent the morning masking off the floor and wheel wells. Mask the windows and the roof.

Spray the white base. The clear will go on later. The plan is to clear both colors.
