1958-67 VW Beetle Front Apron

Body work will be required before painting!
Sheet metal parts often get shipped in stacks and as such are very susceptible to scratching, minor dents and imperfections. If you are expecting a perfect, paint ready sheet metal piece you will be disappointed. Just the same, for a badly damaged, rusted or missing piece or part, these parts will fit the bill. Expect to have to perform minor body work on any aftermarket replacement sheet metal. NOTE: All sheet metal parts are sent with a black, sprayed, rust inhibitor. This is NOT a paint or a primer. It must be removed prior to applying primer to the sheet metal.

This includes fenders, floor pans, aprons, deck lids ETC. Because this material is not a primer, it is not unusual for scratches to be found in this material. This does not effect the sheet metal as this material should be removed prior to painting, thus also removing any scratches in the process. Large dents would be considered excessive damage. All sheet metal is carefully inspected prior to shipping for any major dents. Any sheet metal that is received dented must be presented to the shipping carrier for a damage claim, REGARDLESS OF THE CONDITION OF THE BOX.
NOTE: Due to limited supply, our inventory may vary slightly. This apron may come with or without the decklid seal channel. If it does not come with the channel, you must weld it in place. You can find the channel for purchase on our site by visiting THIS LINK, or by searching part #111813311. If you require a particular style, please give us a call at 1-800-231-1784 to confirm we have them in stock at the time of purchase. The first, third and fourth images on this page show the apron WITH the channel, and the second image on this page shows one of our aprons WITHOUT the channel.



Test fit the apron before painting!
Previous accidents and body work can cause poor fitment of new sheet metal items. It is very important to test fit the apron before painting it. This will allow any necessary body work to either the body or the apron to be done BEFORE it is painted.

Install the hood latch and bumpers to ensure that everything fits and operates before painting. A little time spent before hand can save your fresh paint when assembling the front end later.

Once body work or paint work has been done to any sheet metal item, it can't be returned!

There are no exceptions! If after test fitting you feel the apron will not fit, DO NOT MODIFY IT. Once body work or paint work has been started, the apron can not be returned!
