Continued refurbishment of the Bug

Turns out, the DMV classifies my '72 Super Beetle as an antique. Wow.
Well, put in the replacement generator (myself), and it seems OK. Had new tie rods installed in the steering, and I myself replaced the old rear shocks with some nice coilover shocks.
My God, what a difference. Got the car up to 70 MPH the other day with nary a rattle or shake. 'Course, high winds tend to push the poor thing all over the road. Looks like the next thing will be wide tires, especially on the rear. Oh yeah, and probably a new clutch.
Damn!
