After a few days without the Scorcher it returned today from the sandblaster. There is not much welding needed - just as we thought. The body may has looked horrible at first glance, but proved to be very solid.
Oh, and we got news from the tire supplier: Meanwhile STU is willing to ship overseas. Fantastic!
"But only if you take 10 pairs of Smoothees and 10 pairs of Padla Traks." Yes, sure, we have a Sand Scorcher mass production. Are they crazy?
The last three days Konrad abused the pipe-bending machine, bringing steel tubes to shape. Inch by inch a (nearly) priceless front bumper arose on the workbench. Today we can trial fit it - fits! There is just the final layer of chrome missing - but we will have that soon.
Cal Look fans certainly noticed the flat Lucas indicators. They are a typical detail for VWs modified in the 1970s. They are seen on the Box Art and will be of course on our car as well.
And we have an update regarding STU: They usually do not ship overseas. And also no payment via credit card... hello? Where are we? In 1971? Well, we don't give up hope!
