First off, big thanks go out to my buddy Aaron. He hooked me up with a spray can of the Arrival Blue Metallic paint which I’m considering painting my beetle if and when we ever get it that far. Paint is a weird thing. Alex and I painted a couple scraps of steel and it looked almost navy/black. I was certain the mixture must have been wrong. But then I took the piece with me to the dealership, and held it up to a truck, and it was dead on. I don’t get it at all. How can it look soooo great on the truck, but sooo dark in your hand. Long story short, its still my choice in colours, but I’m defiantly going to spend some more time looking around before I choose. This weekend is the Jitterbug car show in Niagara falls. 300-500 VW Beetles. I’m sure to get some colour ideas there.

I spent some time this week chopping out crappy patches the previous bug owners had. Word of advice, a piece of tin, 3 different screws, and a boat load of tar does NOT equal proper patches. Idiots. So i got to cutting, and Alex started patching the freshly cut holes. Quite nicely i might add. 2 months and a couple days till the jack and jill. Getting down to the crunch time now. Cross your fingers we will be able to get it into the paint shop soon. They will likely need 2-3 weeks with the car in the paint shop, so thats gonna leave us even tighter for time.

One more day of work for this week, and finally it’s over. Going to be tied up for several hours Saturday for Shannons brothers birthday. Hopefully Alex and I can spend time on the car Saturday afternoon. Will have to wait and see.
