Looks good, what are your plans for it? Have any interior pics?

Great looking car, not meaning to be picky but it looks to have a newer year hood. No crest on it. If you look at the vw emblem I'll bet it has a 3 tab round instead of the org 4 tab flat. I had the same problem on my 59. Luckaly I found a 59 hood to replace it.

yes you are right, this is not the original hood, it was replaced in 1990, but I have a new crest

how can I tell a 58/59 hood from others?

The 59 hood is a one year hood. It has more support around the hinge area. I Just dug my hood out. I will do my best to take some close up pictures this weekend before I put it in storage for 6 months. We just sold our house and are going to build. I don't know where we are going to live while the construction is going on so any work I get to do will be at my sons house and his garage is full.
Btw I am going to have a 25 x 25 shop built at the new house. No more working under a pole barn. Yeaaaaaa!


Ya know it really dosent matter, whats important is to have fun and drive it. That's what I'm going to do if I ever finish it.
