I work on a limited budget, so 'as I can' is a real thing.

"As I can" is looking pretty good. Keep it going and don't "pause" too much.

Hope you kept track of the pretty color mix. I bought a former show car for my son when he was 16 ('73 Super Beetle) and after a minor fender bender we discovered all of the paint colors were custom mixed and thus too expensive to duplicate. The car became tan

I was going to repair this hood and swap, but the structure is full of holes, crunchy and not sound. So... i will cut the louvers out and move them to the current hood.
