Again, drinking problem I’m failing at. So let me kinow. September would probably be a good month. I’ll try to get Mrs Wobby to go ande we’ll make a trip of it. Maybe meet up along the way and hold a campout at the worlds largest campground. (Wal-Mart)

 
I breathed enough CO2 from VW heater boxes.
I’m going to do it the hard way. I want a front engined car.
Thanks for your work on the badge. It goes right next to my microcar-minicar badge. I will have a very interesting badge bar.
 

Hey It’s a start…Now buy a good condition Volkswagen Beetle..Junk the body
and prep the chassis..then find unused KIT.. and walaa twenty yrs later a

Not fixed!!! Dual Empi 34’s. Flamethrower 009 no vacum advance. I set the timing at 0 tds and it ran terrible. Now I adjust it where it sounds right.

The fuel system is clean and I watched the fuel…[Read more]

Im not proud of it yet. I am starting to feel it may be pic worthy!

Dan, would you post a pic of your wheel covers.
I have the real deal wires in a knock off rim but they need much TLC so I was thinking of running wheel covers till I can get these back in the shape they should be. I’d like to see what you and others have done.

Detroit cars you buy all at once. Kit cars you buy one piece at a time.
I just bought a TD.com grill badge.
Now I just need the rest of the car.
You have to start someplace.
It’s a pretty badge.
 

The speedometer cable should simply unscrew from the back of your speedometer.

Wow! Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, Scotch AND Guinness?  When would this happen?  I could be talked into it, possibly, if I can risk another long distance trip.  Maybe I’d tow it behind my Odyssey if I can get the odometer disconnected for that trip.

I’m pretty sure you can order any color that you would like for the same price. It didn’t cost me extra when I ordered my products.  It might take a little longer because she’ll have to change thread in the embroidery machine, but a few days wait would be worth it.  She provides a professional product that I’m sure you’ll be happy with.  She’s be…[Read more]

May we see the donor car? 

Try the new MG Magic site. I kow they have the wire baskets and sets. Google MG Magic for their new web site. They’re in San Diego now.

Cool beans. Thanks Paul. More photos to come as I do the build. Pulling the body off the beetle at the moment.

These links are both for plastic wheel covers.  Does anyone still offer metal wire covers?

She can do just about any color you would like.  She did a cream colored one for me with the lettering “London Roadster” right below the car.

Allen,
In the hope that you will continue to update this thread, I changed the title to add “CMC Fiberfab” and “VW”
Hopefully this will make it easier for the next CMC Fiberfab builder to find your build thread. PMOSSBERG40707.5300347222

Be sure and take lots of detailed pics of your build and post them. Even the smallest details will be of some help to someone.
