The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Thanks for the info

Anyone have any experiences with repairing bad rust around the rear body mounts? Are there any repair panels out there? Someone patched mine badly. Didn't see all this until pulling off the baja kit unfortunately.

Worth the search. Found a early hood and decklid. Traded all my baja kit for it. Thanks guys for the info.

Thanks. Ya, that might be worth the hunt. Might use this one for mock up first. If anyone close knows of where one is, let me know.

Hey. Thanks. Not to far away from each other either. You'll have to let me know if you have any parts for sale. Not ez finding good parts in the rusty Midwest.

Wow, thanks for the nice warm welcome. I have no beef with purist. There needs to be perfect examples of how they rolled off the line. But I don't want anyone busting my balls when I decide to build a bad ass rendition of a beatle....

Thanks. That's cool. I'm building a volksrod out of it anyways. I was lookin for the longer hood so it would cover more of the beam. Just not sure how much longer a 66 is? Is it worth the hunt?

Will it fit if I'm not using a front apron? Does anyone have any idea how much longer the nose is on the earlier hoods?

I just bought a used hood for my project 66. It has vent louvers at the top, it is a 3 tab, and the surface for the emblem is raised. Can someone tell me what years these were used? Thanks.

Been gettin parts there for the last 20 years. Headed there in the morning to look for some stuff for my 66 volksrod project. I have friends and family that get work done there also. Always a fair price and Terry is always a trip. Great guy, great mechanic.

Thanks man, appreciate it. Are you gonna have to down tone that engine for the street?

Just watched that video. That thing is wicked. I take it that thing hasn't seen the street much. You ever run a full 1/4 mile? I'm lookin to make mine quick. That's just down right fast....

Looks like you got a hell of a start. With the looks of that engine, you must like the fast lane. Haha.

How you doin? Just happen to find this sight while googling for a hood or decklid in Wisconsin for my 66 project. I traded my 4 wheeler for this 66 baja 3 years ago. Its my first air cooled. Always had water cooled GTI's. My last vw was a jetta diesel. Wanted a project and now its time to start it. ...

That's cool. I found this website by accident also. Where at in north Carolina are you from. My sister lives in Monroe. Like it down there a lot. Hope to see some pics.
