welcome to the site, I am a relatively new newbie. good luck with the ride. love those side scoops so much I have incorporated them on to my 67 Coronet Convertible. I learned (very slowly) how to do fiberglass work since your quarter panel has a different curve than mine...take care-Dan

Great Cars, including that Bug! A Bee and a Bug, There something about that Bee I see some personality there...Good Luck

Thank you again for all of the replies! It's cool to hear everyone's thoughts. I am really trying to find a way to preserve the original bee stripe. It is still in great condition even with the cracks it has. So the bug is a 62 ragtop. It's a little monster too. Lowered, pro street tranny, disc brakes all around, and a 2110cc engine (150hp) with dual 44mm carbs!

Bring that BABY back to LIFE!!!

Making progress getting her stripped down. Just bought an engine hoist so I can start on that engine! Tranny is already done. Just need to get the torque converter over to the shop for rebuild.

Lotsa work. Mine was kinda rough too but I've finished the cut and weld stuff. Now I'm going back with new stuff. Good luck and stay on it.

Nice! I started with the engine and tranny. I've priced out body panels. I'm looking at about $2500 for those. Any advice on where to start?

BAFRAID · Nov 30, 2016

So I've had the engine out and over at the engine shop for about a month and a half now. Originally it was supposed to take a couple weeks but of course there's your very common power outage at the shop due to someone stealing all of the breakers out of the breaker box and of course the holidays. So now I'm supposed to get the block and all the parts back sometime in mid December.
Meanwhile I've sold my house I have to be moved out by next Tuesday and the entire front end of the super B is out as well as the transmission. I shopped around for cards or a body frame systems to move the super B however the cheapest I saw was over $500. I decided to spend $26 on stock and about $15 on 600 pound caster wheels and built these.

Hey there Mr. B-what color are you gonna paint your bad baby when the time comes? My brother had a 69 500 a bazillion years ago in your color combo. He was they one that infected me with Dodge Disease (glad he did)

Many hours and millions of dollars but you will enjoy the end product. I am getting close to the end with many little things left. Good luck and stick with it.

SuperBeeman · Jan 16, 2017

How is this baby coming. Been a while since I have seen it. I am still not done , but getting closer.

Well, it was more rotted than I thought. Honestly this is the first car I’ve ever done metal work like this on. It was scary to start cutting stuff off but I quickly learned how to align panels.

And it was worth it since it is complete and all numbers matching.
