My new commuter/project car. 1962 Bug. As far as i can tell it has the 1300 singleport with 1500 heads. New interior and rust free! Paint is nothing special (looks to be a back yard special of sorts :) ) but it's clean and runs great. My buddy just sold his bug so i stole his roof rack and hood lift kit :) I've had it 3 days and i think i've got the vw "bug" already!

Good ones, except I question your choice of focus points in 4 & 5.

thanks guys

are the colors not blending well for anyone else, like in pics 2 and 6 especially? they turned out fine on another board that i posted at, but for some reason on this board the colors seem really broken up... ?

do they look better on the photobucket?

Nice work. Neat looking car. The B&W works well with this car.

Shots 1, 2, and 3 are way cool. I don't dare show them to my wife. She loves the older Beetles.

Really nice series. Thanks for posting.

They both look fine to me. I wish PB would show the full size image without having to click on it to get the +.
