Hanging parts and detailing stuff, pulled my new wiring harness in, not without some drama, splice broke and I had to go fishing 🙁 put it behind me tho.
Original door handles on the driver’s side have big pavement grinds, hahah
all is well in the shop!
Your kicking ass… BBB in two months?? 😎 Shut the farm down, bring the wife and dog!!!
Corporate mailed your package yesterday!!! 4 pieces of glass, glove box door, and a t-shirt! 😎
Luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.👊
Got my KCW box yesterday, thanks John and Gretchen for the goodies and careful packaging! We need to get together next time you are down here so I can settle up.
You don’t owe me shit Jeff….. I’m glad I could help you out with something I have laying around. I am sure you’ll have the oppurtunity to help me out again sometime…. 😎

That’s an awesome photo of the shop ! You gotta be the luckiest guy ever to have landed that DC back. So cool!
I’m only half as lucky as the guy that doubled his money on one 60 mango 🙂
Hanging parts… brake lines all in, cables, waiting on wheel cylinders to button up the brakes. Cleaned and painted the screw terminal starter. All cabin windows in place now too.
This 36 was in this bus before, came from a old ghia some years back, was kinda stuck and had signs of water down the carb but I got it started and ran a few laps around the yard a while ago. I’m going to clean it up and put it in.
Thanks to Bubba for passing this stuff on to me:
Been a while since I had a crankstart bus 🙂 Last one was a 58DDWT too!
sweet !
Your bus looks great ! That Wurlitzer bus was badass too, and that 57DD we should’ve take the rear bumper off……damn
I heard of a logo bus in Cortez for sale. The same guy has a pelican red /black 59 ghia for sale too.
Do you guys know anything about this?
Bubba is out of town, we should be able to scoop a few good deals. 🙂
Shit he probably knows all about it, the Bubba network has this place wrapped up tight.
Compression checks out good, heads look shiny under the 30 year old grease, A quick clean up, scrape off some old gunk and… Oh shit!Guess it did have some water in it 🙁 It was holding oil till I started messing with it. So much for a quickie…Damn!
well shit !
I don’t know of the logo bus in cortez ??
You DD is looking Awesome. That’s sucks about the motor. I have a 1600 cc mystery motor that I bought off a local Gj guy. If u need one. It’s at KCW I was hoping to put it in the run stand one day and see what she says😜
I got a friend down here in Tucson with quite a few 36hp cases. Could put you in touch if need be.
I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.
Thanks for the offers Jesse and Ben, I have a 36 in pieces up in the attic I was saving for another project, I’ll rob the case from that. Internals look good on this one, probably just re-bearing it. But we’ll see…
I got a bunch of that old slow shit too… 😎
Luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.👊
