I am looking to have this car restored. I was going to do it myself, but I know very well, it will turn into a 10 year project. I’m still looking for a few parts which includes wheels, rear upper seat and running boards. E-mail me if you have any of these items for a 1956 Oval.

Oval Window Beetle Rear Fix

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

I am looking for body work advice for an 1956 Oval Window. I noticed the tail of the oval that I purchased a few years ago hangs low. After taking off the fenders, I realized that the car was impacted in the rear. Under the fenders, there are two bends behind the wheels. I guess a car rammed into the rear bumpers at one time cause this to buckle in a bit. I am looking for suggestions on how to fix this problem. I’ve included pictures of both sides.
