Excellent...very nice indeed. 
I’ve owned several aircooled Volkswagens in my time, including a 1302 bug in light blue....and I can’t find fault.
Nice clean finish - ten out of ten !

Very clean build, and great color choice. I've had a few air cooled myself. Not nearly as nice as Ron's though.

Both were 1600’s Shay - the ‘63 was mild, but the Apple Green ‘73 had more engine mods.

....I should have asked which DFH ?
The beetle or my Moggy pickup.
The beetles were faster - I only swapped the old 1098 engine for a slightly larger Marina 1300 that I rebuilt.
