'62 Ragtop Bug update

James has given us a small update on what is going on with his 1962 Ragtop Beetle.

As you may recall, James recently updated us about his painted Slamwerks narrowed beam that he was going to fit to his Beetle.

Since then Slamwerks have sent him a new design beam to try out. Obviously he obliged so has since painted this one up in preparation for the installation.
He also has his dropped spindles and disc brakes, that came from Machine 7, ready to go on.

So now all he's

waiting on now is a set of tyres to go on his new set of Flat 4 Fuchs that he is currently masking up for some detailing. It shouldn't be long now until the Peene Machine is slammed on the floor, rolling on Fuchs and has the ability to stop on a dime. Watch this space.
