Thanks Joe. I'm beyond thrilled it's all coming together. The body guy says he's doing the body work next week or two and, then, it's going to paint. Smile

I know about too many projects. My panel seems to be a never ending one.

Is the sb the wife's or did you pick up another one?

Spend your dime on gas and I'll share a slice or two on Saturday.

Yeah Keith, thats the wifes yellow beetle. I hate to sell it because it is a really nice car, but we've found that beetles aren't very practical with 3 kids. I'll probably post an ad up sometime this week.

Hey Ted,

Don't really know yet but I can give you a call. PM me your cell number. If it is a nice day we may leave earlier than necessary just to cruise around. Either way your more than welcome to follow us up.

No, It is not a regular VOLKSWAGEN logo, read it again if you thought it was. Got them from Orange Box Frabrication. Had them cut me 4 as a test. The excess material is so I can pratice polishing the logo's, acid etching them or blasting them to see what I like the best.

I will have them at our Saturday evening dinner and will have details.

I called the owner of Fat Alberts today to remind her we were coming, and we would be there around 4-4:30pm. She said she would have everything ready for us. See you guys there.

I did not make my deadline to have the baja fired up by today, but got distracted by lights, fenders, suspension, heating system and other less fun things. But I am very close to haveing done.

Nothing here Brad. Is the case junk or is it the heads? I did see that early dark blue vanagon again today on the way up to Ripley.

I have a lot of junk Brad, but nothing that will help you out with a 2.1.

Wagenfolks cruised on a beautiful day to Fat Alberts Pizza in Ripley WV. 35 people invaded Fat Alberts and had a good time.

I will have the "Wagenfolks" stainess steel scripts for the next cruise. I will be ordering a few more for the other members that were not with us today.

Keith will have the Tee-shirts and hoodies. I ordered a few extra for others as we grow.
