V8 1973 VW Beetle Project by V8 Super Beetle

I'm kinda leaning towards the silver.  

Something like this.

I think the stripe was too big in the previous pic. The interior would look cool like this, but with the two tone seats.



Just thinking out loud here....

Check these rotary rods out! I wouldn't mind putting one in a beetle after this project.

I like the look of this rotary bug.

Got my parts today...

Rocker arms, head gaskets, head bolts, intake bolts, intake gaskets, valve covers gaskets, timing cover, timing gasket, aluminum water pump pulley, water neck / gaskets, thermostat, distributor, base clamp and gasket for dist, ACCEL wires (red), valve cover breather, air breather, oil pan, dip stick, bolts for pan and timing cover, headman shorty headers, B&M 2,500 stall, TCI tranny rebuild kit and push rod length checker. I think that's all...might have left some out but basically everything I need to put the motor together minus push rods. I'll get those once I check their length (exh / int).

Within the next month or two I should have the motor together and in the car.  That is, after I paint and rebuild the chassis.
