Audreys knocking out that body work!!!   😎  Soo cool to see her do something I do.. She’s good at it… I always heard girls were great for body and paint with their smooth touch… 😎

 

I’ve been welding shit up… randomn extra holes here and there extra seat belt holes… when a 62 has it’s own factory holes..  Finished up LOTS of things the last shop got 90% done.. Front floor edges and what not… anyway..  Doing my thing!!!

Parts will all be done today… except that door we are missing… 😎 😎 😎  Man that sucks… and I don’t have one!!!  Thinking about trying a Brand new gerson door!!!  ???  We will be on the shell next week!!!  If I can stay at it, I bet we have that shell in primer by next friday…. 😎  😎  This rig will be painted in just a few weeks from now… 😎

Franz, Pat, John, Wanted to run some things by you guys before I bring down the beetle next week. Below is a car that my wife really like and wants to copy the stance . After reading the thread it looks like 2 in narrowed with discs. she also likes the widened steel rims. we will also be bringing down headliner for install as well. I was hoping to put in an order and get the ball rolling a bit and more importantly get some input/thoughts from you guys. Thanks in advance and let me know if you have any ideas…….Also, a single yellow foglight haha thanks D-

That car has a Mark Brandt look to it… 😎

I vote for slightly lowered, cool wheels and tires, and a torque monster engine. I’ve used Sewfine many times over the years. Highly recommended.

That sounds pretty good to me too….   Big engine, 3.88 trans..  Slightly lowered, straight axle, disc brakes, wheels, A1 exhaust..

I think I might finish up any welding needed today.. besides the metal we ordered… like belly pans and that one cargo door lower section.

Audrey is kicking butt on body work…. she picked this shit up fast… 😎

We haven’t used them in a long time, but know many who have and all love em!!! I used them a few times!!  May have to go back to using them! I heard Lenny sold his shop… now it’s gonna be called silver lining’s or something like that??  not sure… heard it at shasta..

I met my goals, there is a beautiful hanging drivers door over a new Dog leg!!!  Also filled the plug hole behind the B pillar.  Also got to straightening out the hammered over wheel wells..  Next… I want to do some additional welding around the new cargo door rocker and replace the battery mount stud in the engine bay… also  funny area in drivers door jamb seal area rut, one extra hole in the dash….. some belly pans…. which are on order from Gerson!!!

Audrey is knocking out parts…. 😎

Safari’s??  Middle seat, there are only mounts for a full width, your walkthrough would have come with a 2/3 so you could walk all the way to the back seat without getting out… What middle seat do you have?

The shop has been kicking sooo much fucking ass lately!!!!   KNocking shit out like we always have… Stressful…  But we maintain… We get through it..   It always works out…  If you just keep working, just keep pushing, you always make it to the top of the hill!   😎

I don’t want to rush the triple RGB assembly..  So I think I will just swap my stuff out…  I do plan on new RGB kits for mine though…8-) 😎  Hopefully they get here by the weekend…   It’s funny.. One shasta I have seen guys swap trans on the side of the road in about 3-4 hours…. I bet it takes me another two days from where I am at now!!! 😎 😎 😎

Bus is still on the lift… Trans work is at the very bottom of my list of things I want to do at 5pm… any day of the week.. 8-(  Not to mention… Working like a regular dude is tiring for me… I wish I had more energy in the evenings… Fuck… Boots off, food in the belly, sit on the couch… Boom… I’m eye shut and about to go to sleep!!!    I still think cocaine is the answer… I asked Corporate about it.. but corporate keeps shutting that one down.. 😎 😎 😎  So I don’t know what to do…  I guess go to bed early and keep getting up at 4am… 😎 😎 😎
