🇲🇽🦭Mexican Hood Seal and Latch Install - 1956 VW BEETLE - 167

I have grown quite tired of manipulating the diapers that were under the hood and decklid under Eleanore my 1956 Chop Top VW Beetle that protected it from shipping damage. It was time to install a proper hood and decklid seal so prevent any paint damage. A proper later model seal that VW of Mexico used (or one like it!) was what I chose to install on this Beetle to tidy things up. I also install the VW Beetle hood latch and got that working properly, too!
