    Dang! thats some thick glass in that thing lol Came out really good Chris, my Brother Tom worked real hard to get a VWB and the first day he brought it home he only had it only a few hours and he kicks himself in the butt to this day for letting my Sisters BF take a ride in it ..ALONE and he hit a phone pole..my heart broke to see my Brother just looked and said nothing... his brand new car trashed. that was back when I was 7 back in 1974, I'll never forget that feeling seeing my brother just sit next to it looking at the ground and said nothing until the police and fire trucks came. still breakes my heart to this day when I recall that day. Things like that shouldn't happen to one of the coolest dudes ever.

    That's also an awesome way to do the trim....never crossed my mind to tape it off for paint markers

    Had this kit for awhile, just started messin with it last night finally. Went red for body color to match the rest of my Coke stuff. Been awhile since i painted, didnt think to check the nozzle on my can. Had to do some emergency wet sanding, but itll survive well enough for a drag car paintjob im sure.

    Awesome job as usual Chris ! I must get my hands on this one ! I've never built a bug before but have been wanting to for a long while. And this is exactly what I have in mind ! Love the short little body and chassies. I would probably build mine with the Moon caps. I always loved those on a Volkswagon Beetle. They would really look good with the skinnies in the front and fatties in the rear ! And love the Coke bottle green glass. A lot of folks don't know it but that is actually called " Georgia Green". I read about some of Coke's history and that's what it said about it anyways. Proud to say I'm from Georgia. Love your videos. I learn a lot from watching them ! Awesome build. Thanks for sharing this with us ! Thumbs up !

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  3 года назад +5

      I save the nozzles from empty cans, soak them in Super Clean and pop a new nozzle on when one clogs. Then soak the clogged one in Super Clean for a few days to clean it.
      Simply, easy, effective.

      To use model glue you must remove the chrome, plastic to plastic only.
