Starting to get COLD out. Trying to finish up some small projects.

I never liked the orange lenses on the coach lights....

Found some clear lenses that were the right size.

Added 1157A Bulbs.......

And, Much Happier Now. Very Happy

Have a Great Turkey Day,

Bill

Well, the front lights came out OK, so I thought of adding Blue Dots to the Tail Lights.

Only lens I could find, was 1/4 inch too small.

Off to the Hardware store........

Bathtub fixture surround was close.

Some time with the Die Grinder and Xacto Knife.

Guess another Problem solved. Laughing

Dust in Picture, looks better than that.

Have a Merry Christmas,

Bill & Sherl

Last updates for 2018.......

I liked the Mirrors, but didn't look right to me, with the Body.

Found some "Round" mirrors, and took a shot.

I think they match the Body better.

Merry Christmas,

Bill

Check out the picture of the Barris buggy behind the 914 with the two young girls in front. Can't post pic on my ancient mac. Perhaps someone can.

Do the kids get locked in the front or rear trunk of that 914? Or one in each trunk? Great family car. Tom LOL

I seem to "find" unusual items in daily Life.

The Crayola one was at a thrift shop. I just liked the LOOK. Laughing

The Hersey one was found on E-Bay.........

Have a Great Day,

Well Spring is No Hurry, but it got to 40 degrees, time to work. Very Happy

Time to install that New Bearing...........

Took a Little while, and results were a "Crappy Picture"

But, all together again. And the wheel doesn't move up & down. The horn doesn't blow when you turn the wheel. And the turn signals cancel. What more could I ask for ?

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Time for another project on this Buggy.

I saw this, while looking on E-Bay awhile back. Thought it would be COOL at shows.

But, that vendor would not do custom work. I found one that did, but would have to charge extra for the artwork. Tried a couple of different programs that wouldn't give the results I was looking for. Then I found Inkscape, free program that is a lot of fun to work with.

This is what I came up with, and will work for the vendor.

It will be awhile, I still have to "draw" the other two cars. I'll post back with the finished product.

Have a Great Day,

Bill
