i dont know how detailed you can get with the resin buttons. but if you could do a vw (volkswagon) symbol in either green or silver in a black resin i would be super pleased.
Now you are talking. I was a hot rod VW guy for many of my younger years.[emoji1] I can definitely give it a try.

I had a 69 bug - loved that car. Oh, the stories it could tell.

Wife and I have a Westy for camping as well (although it's a stinkin' rotten oughta be thrown out of the VW club water cooled Eurovan - the last year before Winnebago did the camperizing).

That is sweeeeeet. Love the satin black look. If you go to the track on vw race days you can find empi 8s in the swap meet area a lot of times. I took a gold set and sand blasted the gold off and polished the aluminum lips. Had 100 bucks in em when done. Long time ago though[emoji1]

The stock heater boxes are terrible anyways. Rip em out and put headers on and find you a trunk mount webasto heater[emoji6]


i ripped them out, put headers on and then installed a nice power inverter and run a ceramic heater. never heard of a webasto heater. have to look that up.

as far as suggesting attys i would have to say you would have to do the derringer clone. a-mod wotofo make a great clone of it cheap. i have one and an authentic. the a-mod is actually made better. sad to say. although anything i have had by them has been very high quality.
I have one of the Derringers coming in copper for myself but I won't be stocking them due to Reo carrying them as the rm8.

I accidentally burned a date's knees once when I fired up the gas heater in the bug. Flames shot out 3 feet. She got over it and, like I say, the stories that car could tell ;)

Roscoe! I need a copper Derringer for the Avion!!! [emoji6] Have thought all along how great that would be on it. I have a brass one but it's on my brass TMod. How much beg, borrowing and pleading will it take to get one from ya?

Edit-just went to the site-getting two! Another brass and a copper one. Thanks for the tip! Didn't know they were there and chowder doesnt have the brass and copper [emoji6]

kids.....and sailboats :)
I've been a kayaker for a while now but my aging body is telling me to go to wind power. Making me jealous with this sailing business.
Had a Hobie cat years ago and had a blast with it but something bigger with a cabin would be nice.
