      @HeathsGarage I grew up watching Herbie on TV, VHS and DVD, and seeing someone as dedicated as you are to recreating my favorite Disney car, and getting him correct to the T, just takes me down memory lane....

    For Halloween, how about turning herbie into a Ghostbuster with some of the same stuff from the ECTO 1, along with herbie's racing patterns, and keep the number 53 on the hood , back and put the Ghostbusters logos on the doors

    Hey! Where did you get the 200hp engine?? I’m restoring my 63 and I like the look and fit of the one you got! So I was curious on if you’d share that information?

    • @HeathsGarage

      I bought it from CB Performance in California. Built by Pat Downs.

      It is a Carello fog light (as seen in Herbie goes to Monte Carlo)

    Fantastic car, truly a wonderful sight to see in person i reckon. Quick question where did you pick up the wheels and decals from?

    • @HeathsGarage

      Thank you 😊
      The wheels were custom made and the Herbie decals are from Mrherbie.com

    Hey Heath. Given you have a lot of experience, what paint type would you suggest? 1k -2k etc, what do you use for your Herbie??

    • @HeathsGarage
      @HeathsGarage  27 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      2k paint is a lot better than 1k. I painted my Herbie in 2k (along with all my cars)
      It isn’t as forgiving as 1k paint, but it is a lot more durable

      @HeathsGarage Do you recall the brand mate? Im at a stage where I'm doing body work & needing to seal, i figured id use the primer to match whatever topcoat (I'll likely use 2k) also, Did you clear coat Herb? Your paint job looks so smooth im guessing you're just naturally talented at painting, especially in the booth you used!

    herbie was white in side and the weel was on the left so its not HERBIE

    • @HeathsGarage

      I think you should check again, this is a ‘Herbie goes to Monte Carlo’ replica. The car was grey inside with off white high back seats so the stunt driver could see through the black mesh from the rear seat.
      Correct, my car is right hand drive. I live in Australia where we drive on the right.
