Took some time tonight to improve the welds for the inside channel in the engine bay. The channel that was welded onto the replacement apron was less than impressive. It’s looking much better now. #Suoer71 #SuperBeetle #VWBug

Work continues on the rear apron and engine bay. I cleaned up the edge on the left side, welded the final fender nut on the lower right side, and welded the c-channel in place. It should clean up nice with a skim coat of filler down the road. Project #Super71

Every little job counts. This time around I finally fixed the metal in the engine compartment that was previously hacked out to fit a carburetor cover. Project #Super71

I Installed the c-channel on the front apron of Project #Super71. It went together nicely. It should clean up nice with the finish body work. #VWBeetle VWBug #SuperBeetle #Volkswagen #aircooled

Just some proof that I do actually exist. Here are a few pics from my bug-cam showing me moving the beetle back into place. #vwbeetle #superbeetle #vwbug #super71 #aircooled

Re-organized the garage today and got the Beetle back up on the jack stands so I can continue working on the body. This time I lifted is as high as possible. #vwbeetle #Super71 #superbeetle #aircooled #punchpuggy

Started to weld in the c-channel on the bonnet tonight. I only did the driver's side today. I will get to the rest of the channel later in the week. Every little bit is progress. Project #super71 #VWBeetle #VWBug #SuperBeetle #VW #Volkswagen

We have moved into completing the smaller annoying jobs that have been put off for so long. This time around we worked on some trouble spots on the front apron, along the lip for the c-channel, and replacing any missing fender nuts. #VWBeetle #VWBug #SuperBeetle #VW #Volkswagen
