Received a couple of kick panels that go under the rear seats. These were from 1963 Bug, and look to be in good condition. Purchased from a member of TheSamba.com website.

PARTS – Kick Panels

PARTS – Heater Vent Covers
I bought some heater vent covers and retaining clips off of TheSamba.com. Getting bug parts in the mail is just like Christmas. A rustier, dirtier Christmas.
Not sure what color they should be. Black? Gray? Should they match the carpet? Pearl White, like the body? Don’t know yet.

Door Panel – Exam
Three of the four interior panels look ok, and re-usable. But the back of driver side door panel is broken and flimsy. I think the vinyl could be cleaned, and would probably still have some life in it.
The backing looks like masonite. If I can safely separate the vinyl from the backing, I think I could get a piece of masonite from Lowe’s or Home Depot and use the existing backing as a template for making a new one.
PARTS – Front Bumper
Picked up an original Beevis-era bumper from Manny, a nice guy in Memphis. One little ding, and a bit of rust on the back, but overall it’s in decent shape.
