About

After more than 14 years my SIngle Cab now has paint. I elected to go with a two-tone blue/white color combo featuring VW colors Lotus White and Neptune Blue. Lotus White L282 (42) came on mid-60's beetles and Type 3's, while the Neptune Blue L50K (47) came on 1968-69 Type 2 Buses.

The reassembly has begun and I hope to be driving my Single Cab truck in the Spring of 2013.
