Pics? Maybe?
I've been a member here for years, but this is my very first attempt at posting pictures. Please bear with me. 
So, these are the first few pictures from my '69 Bug project. I started with Minichamps' 1983 VW 1200, which I feel is the most accurate casting of a late model Bug. To replicate my 1/1, I had to make a few modifications- Get rid of the c-shaped vents behind the rear quarter windows, and remove the '73-up "elephant's foot" taillights, fill in and replace with '69 style taillights, which I got from a Revell. I'm also filling in the front bumper mounted turn signals to replace with the front fender mounted ones (also from the Revell), but at this point it's just a bumper with putty there so I didn't take any pictures of that. Anyway, here goes:

RH taillight
I know it's a little too far to the right in these pics. I have fixed it since these were taken. Just like on the 1/1, it's a bear trying to get them even/level on a surface with no template!
