63 bug

ive had this bug for about 24 yrs. i am 2nd to actually drive it but 4th owner. i have paperwork from the 60s 70s showing maintance from original owner. i was told from my seller he never did anything with it and bought it in the 80s, and his previous owner never did anything either. so now im 2nd or 4th.

i drove it in its prior rusty condition for years, and finally restored in 2018.

1500 single port, converted 12 volts.

originally was 6 volts but i needed a better radio and wiper movement with snow and rain.

drove for about 2 yrs on 6 volts, not bad but snow dictated the change really. kept the 6 volt wiper motor for extra fast power.

welding fixes

added new floors, grafted new channels with rear wheel areas, new bumper mount areas, new front firewall, new patches here and there and more.

original paint mostly with original parts mostly. faded paint with grey streaks.
