Wowh, it rained cats and dogs the whole week and we had a lot of wind. Typical March weather, very unpredictable. The wind blew the new BBT totem sign apart, our neighbours had a beetle and a bus with the big BBT logo in their garden brought by the winds at once…:) Nobody’s hurt, so we’re all happy, insurance will cover the cost of repair, or at least we do hope that part of the story..:)

All eyes are looking at Brexit. Who can maintain any respect for these stupid British politicians? Who they think they are? They feel its normal they vote 2, 3 or God knows how many times in parlement. But the people, they can (could) only vote only one time, otherwise it would be betrayal, spokes men said. They fool the people, that’s at least how we feel!

Well, we will have to wait and see (and feel) when this circus comes to an end. Because a circus it is! The exact impact on our economies is hard to predict. But Brexit will disturb the markets. Don’t we all know that disturbed markets are no good markets? Markets needs stability, to grow and flourish…

Will be continued!

Since two years we do work on our tooling for the Beetle front fenders up to 1959, with the correct metal thickness the right radius, correct hump next to the headlight bowl, the perfect “bump” for the running board, the “flat’ on the returning edge etc etc, all in short a perfect reproduction fender for your Pre 1959 VW beetle,

Yes, we will carry the different horn grills….

We’re happy we can announce now the third step tooling is finished and prototypes are rolling of the presses as we speak!

As always said, this fender is made in cast tooling in a three main step way, with some smaller “steps” down the road… it is exactly how Volkswagen made these back in the day, and they’re pressed upright, as that’s the only way we will get the correct hump next to the headlight bowl!

For You some pictures of the evolving prototype “1” what’s almost ready to send to BBT HQ for test fitting later this week….

Stay tuned on our Blog to follow this BBT adventure and learn when things will become available worldwide!
