Hey Folks. Just picked up a '63 Baja Rag Top! The motor runs great. It came with all new window rubber just need to go through everything to work out any kinks.

That's really cool. Looks like its had plenty of play in its heyday. I like the oldschool bugeye fronts.

Nice, can not wait to get started on it. Now we really need to get mine done.

You know looking at the motor, I see the fuel pump, without any lines, and the fuel line going to the front. I guess they left the old pump as a back up.

Yeh I'm not sure but the wheels must be custom made. They have zero offset :shock:

Got a little more done today including cutting my hand real deep :cry:

Trimming the floor pan

The last seat support is history

I cut my hand on the jagged edge of the blue piece on the left. Got a little blood on the cutting tool

Steve painting his Baja

Shortened my stinger just a little bit

Got my 15" 5 lug wheels off Jerry's Baja

Here's what my hand looks like right now

Kenny got a hurt,

He was cutting on this

Then he bled all over the front yard

Just a little blood

Maybe next week he will be well enough to work on his bug
