I guess it will all depends on how much I can get done to the car by then and If my wife and I are free those dates but I will look into it. I might be able to convince her as she sold her RX-8 and misses it so looking at mostly RX-8s would be easier than any other car show.

DO IT! It will be a great time. The mountians down there are beautiful, The dragon's tail is a great drive, and so are the other roads out that way.
I should be there with the wife.

So I guess my garage had some Gremlins in it and they lived in the beetle for some time.
Trying to wire up the lights and it is driving me nuts.
Hazards function normal, but left and right turn signal both sides also.
when I turn on the light switch the brights activate
need to figure out the brake switches because I'm not using the stock pedal
For some reason the started engages from the clutch switch instead of the ignition?
At least the engine and gauges work properly!!!

Installed '67 style horn grills as an air duct for the oil coolers (don't worry there will also be duct work from under the hood as well they are just for added flow) Also cut the hood to get some air flow to the Radiator.
Headlights are also wired and operational

Thanks Guys
Still need some things like mirrors and turn signals to be completely legal but should be taking it for its real maiden voyage either tomorrow or Friday as my temp Registration is only good till Friday and to get a License Plate they need to verify the VIN

Finished installing the insulation pad, also started installing the carpet but don't have a picture. Still need to direct the radiator heat away from the pass compartment because it feels like your driving through Hell.
Here's a pic of it's first fill up!
Back from the DMV she is all legit! It's great that the car of over 30 years old so the registration is cheaper!
