Good work Herman,
Soon we will see the first coat of paint!

Came across this pic on Instagram.

Thanks D,

yes its that very same picture from that artist that inspired me to build the MeFusco.

Then it had the write up by this motoring journalist that said it could not be built......

PS, sorry to all for lack of progress this week as life just got in the way again.

Anything is possible with a........decent angle grinder!!!!!, And with a few other "tools" of course !!!!
Great job Herman

The 3 of us had a sit-down meeting, and really attack this issue.......

The majority vote was that we have yet another beer........

But then the decision was the German ww2 desert colours.

ie. main body Dark Yellow pre 1944(desert sand).......RAL 7028 till 1944 CMYK 40-45-70-10

Mud guards and other out standing features in Olive green ......RAL6003 CMYK 45-15-60-70

all in 100% matt

What say you all ???????

Thanks Terry,

Did get the stuff from you and more then happy thank you.

Maybe post some more Photo's and the guys can help to clear your workshop for you.

As you know there is always something that you have not got that will make life a little bit easyer, and also help you at the same time.

Thanks again

Herman

Thanks Herman I have taken pictures just need to go through them then I will post them.

Just busy with some "CAD" work, to make up the sheet steel fillers for the back of cab to load rails.

Wanting to get to the end of the metal work, so I can start on the permanent welding, flatting, sanding and preparing for paint.

Its coming to the end of "Maak n plan" stage where we can start on the "Maak hom Mooi" stage

Will post pic's when done

Herman

Busy with the smaller things now, Will post progress later tonight.

During the looking for "Things to Do" list came up with the one question that I have not put much thought to.

Do I fit bumpers to the front of MeFusco ????????

Keep in mind that the back will not be getting anything as it would have to be removed every time you load and off load the beetle.

So do I fit a Butch bumper of heavy looking steel

Or

A USA petrol car push bumper,

Or

A Beetle bumper,

Or

Rolled Pipe Bumper,

Or

????????????????????

Any opinions please.

Herman

Put some colour down,...and give a pic so it can mess with "us"............it depends......on what you "guys" can agree on !!!!
