As long as someone on your team has one you are good. Last year there were a few clues that were GPs coordinates but most were clues that related to the OHV area map. That has been played so this year it will be all GPS based. It's more of a geocache. This year is sure to be bigger and better than ever before. We have a sponsor and the new shirts should be really nice. I met with the artist today and his plan should blow last years shirts away.

Yup, we did a cruise from White city, down HWY 99 to Grants Pass to pick people up, then back down HWY 99 to Central point to the Hot Rod Show.

Was a great time!

Was a great time! I thought that looked like Grants Pass!! looks like a nice day there, that 64 has a great stance man! what did you do to the suspension?? 1 click in the rear ? cut and turned front end ? shocks?

Thanks for the comment! The suspension was already done when I got it. But it has cut and turned front with extended shock towers (they come through the trunk), the rear was done 1 click.

The front beam is an odd one... My buddies say it's not the stock beam... Dunno, I should snap some pics and post em up here.

Are you from the Grants Pass area?

Here is a few pic's of my street/off road Baja I working on at my friends shop , Just starting to install my new rear bumper I got from http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=702008 very nice work and will look good when I finish installing it.

This is what I found when I puled my motor apart I don't know how it could of turned free when the case was torqued down. This is along with not having any shims for the crank end play and missing the distributor spring.

Here is my aluminum dash. WOW what a cheep pice of crap looks like it was cut by drunken monkey I did not even come close to fitting and up and the edges not even close to a straight line. Oh well no time to look for a other one I just had to make do with it.
