First time doing this. Not as bad as I thought it would be. There was zero clearance! Yikes!
And I ordered a phenolic spacer for the carb. Darn boiling gas vapor lock @!&*%£!!

installed new floormats, replaced a dead fuse, and am trying to figure out how to get the aftermarket radio out of the dash

new floor mats that say 77 BUG, new fuel filter installed, installed NOS headlight switch, valves adjusted, back up light issue resolved- previous owner cut the wire. No inline fuse. Next LED headlights, speaker shelf, replace dash bulbs, replace some fuel hose

I received the 2 seals for the fresh air hoses my new 74 Super had been missing and installed them and I got a new plastic bumper end too and installed it. I put the seals with this side facing up into the hoses, is that correct?

Replaced back seats with wood, to cover it with carpet and smooth out the back.

And primered parts of the bug that i had to use filler or p40 on.

Got sick of staring at it in the driveway, so I did some minor stuff to it today. It felt so good to be out working on the car again.

Enjoyed the hell out if it! Fri. a.m. I removed messed up generator, removed gen from a project, swapped in and went on 2 hr test ride on the highway (95 south) to see an army buddy I haven't seen in 30 yrs. Ran awesome. Came home Sat. and the ride was fun as hell ( don't get away much).Drove today for errands around town.

This is my first 'what did you do' post.

My super had rotten door panels but the vinyl looked ok. So I'm reusing it, with new backing. I bought the brown fiberboard at lowe's for $4. The rubber bands on the clothespin, is a trick I picked up from my guitar making days. It adds a lot of clamping power. I used 5-min epoxy. I added a viscuene strip to the edge, which is affixed with spray adhesive, but also has epoxy, near the edge. Maybe they'll fall apart in a week. Who knows. I put thin wood strips (tongue depressors) on the other side so that the clothespins didn't leave little dents all over the edges of my door panel.
