actually look for the old CHP red headlights and mount them in the rear window that will get there attention .

I like Mr. Jean's idea. The 3 or 4 pulse /flash will get the attention, yet not be overdone.

I didn't bring my camera to Shreveport...I forgot...I would have taken before and after pictures of George. We refurbished a deck lid and put it on (the new rear apron Bert ordered from the guy in Bossier City never did show up...that guy does NOT have his act together at all...I went there and saw the whole place in disarray and I knew there was no way that deal would happen when it was supposed to...Bert doesn't use the internet or use toll-free lines so he didn't order it direct and here's what happened), anyway, we painted it a semi-gloss black and I ran a strip of reflective tape (like 18-wheelers use) across the top of it. Also added new Nerf bars. It's rat-rod, but it's functional. There are alignment issues with the deck lid going back to when I got hit. It bent the hinges inside that are attached to the body, and there's a half-inch gap on the right side of it. A little fiddling by a couple of Phantom Kruisers will rectify that situation when we all get together one of these days.

In 1969, I painted my '62 Beetle ("Olive") red white and blue with stars and stripes. It was a party on wheelz. After I returned from Shreveport I sat down and did George in Photoshop the same way Olive was painted. I like it. It looks right to me. I remember how I did it and it came out great. Here are the 2 versions I made of George in Photoshop. Enjoy! WC1

hope all is well John.... just for grins take a look at round 1 70's funnycars at Ira Hollensbe's car for a variation on the theme... also whilst' i am here, brother in'law Mike dropped by with some cuts of his written music that we are trying to put together on a cd. i'll mail one to you when i get some

I kinda like the concept of the flag idea, John... Perhaps some inspiration from the "Snake's" 75-76 Army sponsorship?? Whatever you decide, keep in mind that Adolf is prolly rolling in his casket.

Looks great, John! I dig the RWB design. They won't be able to miss that big star! bp

It's hard to believe that this was 41 years ago. This was my '62 with me and friends at Milby Park, Pasadena, Texas, October, 1969. Cheers, WC1

Hi John! Great to see you up here. bp

Thanks, BP. I'm back home (and online) again. It can only get better. Cheers, WC1
