I agree, the hubcaps'll look great with the Bug "thumbsup"

Testing. Here's the first rough coat.

A bit more progress. Got some primer on the body. Waiting for it to warm up so I can paint. Version 6 of the mirror bracket seems to be workable so I'll whip up some PTEG ones when I get a part for my 3D printer tomorrow.
Looking good!
Up until you said primer I thought that was the final color which I like, but I suppose it doesn't really suit the vibrant look of the wheels and tires so much.

I actually have a colour of paint very similar to the primer but didn't like how it looked on the wheels. If I'd left the wheels black this would've looked OK. I also thought of pure rust. We'll see how it goes after it gets beat up a bit. But for now it's going to be black.

Got a couple of coats of Tamiya semi-gloss black paint on this afternoon. Beats a day at work anytime, and I like my job. Here's a sneak peak. Got some plans for some stickers as well.

Played with some more stickers. Have to look closely at the bottom of the doors. Tried some red paint on the mirror bracket. Looks OK I think, but I still need to print some better ones.

Here you can see it a little easier.
Looking good! Did you make the stickers?
Flat four, it really seems more round-ish to me.
Pardon my poor humor

Bahaha! Sorry, couldn’t help myself. And yeah, I made the stickers. About 5 minutes in Adobe Illustrator and five minutes to cut them out on my wife’s Silhouette Cameo cutter. I made the one below last week. It’s on a cabinet door in my shop.

Thanks guys. Robbark, I suppose you could put the motor in the rear, you'd need your battery in the front to balance it out somewhat.
So I'm doing this!! Getting there slowly an love your build!! I have a question could I put motor an gear box at rear?? I fancy making a motor cover to simulate rear engine!

Robbark34 do you have a build thread for yours??? I'm definitely interested in seeing it!
