I was reading through your thread and I had a couple of questions about your carb set up.. Does it have any drive ability problems? or fuel pooling in the intake? hesitation? great project dare to be different !

I don't see any windshield wipers and I have a suggestion for safety....model T fords had manual wipers that pivoted at the top of the windows and only required a 1/4 inchhole through to install and use....might work for you....I have sent my grandson a photo of your car. I am trying to lure him away from riceburners with a FREE 68 project car.........thanks for the photos

The shiny stuff looks kinda good! Man, I love this buggy.

I think a rack and surf board would fit my junker perfectly, but the wife just shakes her head. Meh...one day she'll come home to a rack and surf board.

I need to pick that buggy up in the morning to take it to the beach. You dont need to fill it up with gas. Just leave it out on the road tonight so I dont wake you up with the winch noise. I appreciate it.

AHHHHhhhh.. Finally a decent dry day.... looks like a nice week forming.

Fall is near... my favorite time of year, cool mornings and days, colors changing, leaves falling, good fall seasonal beer available....

I can smell it in the air.. the fossil fuels are burning today!!! Wink

Twas a good day Paul...for both of us it seems.... looks good for a while too...
I can relate to your fuel comsumption issue...
When the Power goes up, the throttle pedal goes down, the speedo goes up, the fuel gauge goes down.
Its a viscious cycle

In fact.. a quick recent fuel stop story.

I stoped for fuel yesterday morning on the way to work.
As I was pumping I could feel the eyes leering, Anxious

I figured...here we go..
One walks up and looks inside, noting my "cane" shifter, he had a few nice words to say about "Operation X" Cool

Always kool to hear what people think both good and bad.....
Another guy just walking around and quietly stalking at it. So I basically broke the awkwardness and said' "Good Morning" in my usual "Yankee" born tone with its southern raised spin.. Wink

I got.... "what kinda motor is sat"..

I tried to keep it real.... simple...., but as soon as I mentioned reverse rotation, it went from ok to weird.. and I think the last thing that was said was
"I ain't callin' u no liar but I'ma gonna have to ask my brother in law bout' that"

As I climbed in..I said "Well all right then... good talking to ya, I got to get to work"

I do love the attention.... no doubt... just generally not in the morning as I am in NO WAY a morning person..

Fall 2013 Eastcoast VWs German Invasion... in the books. Nice laid back event. Good turn out. It was a bit hot, but manageable.
Found a few parts for future "projects", (Thanks d-rock)

Got 2 flasks pinstriped by Roscoe Clyde, and made a deal on some of his art.

As you can see to the right.. The Gray Ghost was waved on in.. I know its not a VW, so... thanks ECVW guys, and all, I appreciate the respect toward my Pop and the Ghost.

Remember the idea of adding cones/spike to the caps a few pages back....

Well tried em.. eh Confused

... too pointy...

So came up with these... More "me"..... My version of wide five "spider" caps..
Cut down semi truck lug nut covers, pvc cap filed down to fit inside, glued in place, and all bolted down.

Added caps to my caps Laughing

Bump for a story...

I went to a home town car show.....on a past recent Saturday. Advertised 10-4...
I was the last to roll in... worked that morning..
Had to roll through the road barriers... that...most mortal cars wouldnt have fit.. Laughing

I pulled in the end of the line of nice and shiney cars.. and a guy walks up and says "We're Closed"..

I laughed and said "I bet it is.... Confused

and by the way its only 2"

He hands me a registration card a says "its 20 dollars" .

I looked at the card and said... "Does it come with free lunch or a hat"
I already had no intentions of paying 20 bucks for a show anyway.. so simply smiled and walked away... he was following me on a golf cart... Laughing

I lost him in the crowd..

I was just itching and waiting on them to tell me to move off a public street...

Now how do I break It to my neighbor that Im not paying 20 bucks for his church car show...
20 is just too much IMO
