Oh, I forgot…Welcome.

Yo, “ItsMeMike”. You’re right down the road from me. Mine is also Ford based. What kind of parts are you sitting on? PM me with a list, please. Also, the show in VA Beach is the end of the month. Want to run with Paul and I? We’ll meet Ed in Baltimore, caravan south and pick up Dale and parade to VA Beach where we will meet up with others…[Read more]

I, also will need a new calendar. Ed, you’ve done a great job the last two years, I will accept any photos you choose.

The front lamps are mounted and they work. I can now see the end of the tunnel.

Great blog again. Maybe I can join you next year, if I don’t try anything stupid.

Definitely helps with the knees and dropped hardware doesn’t bounce away to the far side of the garage.

Thanks, Paul.

Yes, I have a photo of a cycle fendered TD on my work computer. I’ll post it tomorrow if I can remember. Anyway…Progress…Running boards still need to be mounted. Should be back on the ground tomorrow. Today really took a toll on my back and knees.

Front crossmember is already in place with the Fiberfab Ford kit. No modifications required. All suspension and steering components bolt right up. Steering column requires modification. Instructions are in the Manual downloads at the left of your screen or obtain components from a supplier such as Borgeson. Rear springs from donor car have to be…[Read more]

Well, I’m pleased with the final color.Rust Oleum rattle can brown.It buffed out half decent.Last night I stripped the car down to the bare tub and buffed and waxed the light color panels.Began reassembly this afternoon. Fenders should get a final going over and start installation tomorrow. I’m kinda liking the wheels.

Well, the subject matter certainly wasn’t what I expected when I opened this up. If nothing else, you got my attention. I hope one of the seasoned VW guys can help you. 

Sounds beautiful. Just disassembled my ride. The best fall weather in years and I’m missing it

It’s beautiful. I wish you miles of smiles.

And I see a trailer hitch peeking out from down there. That is really going to be a nice ride.

Sounds like she’ll be all sorted out for Carlisle. Great.

This was cheaper than buying 4 new tires.

I had the paint so I decided to paint my wheels the same color as the body.With  the trim ring…Tomorrow I’ll order chrome grease caps for the front hub. I’m going to search for factory caps. Anybody with a set of mid ’90’s Mustang Police Car wheel center caps let me know.

My guess is the upper left. No paint in the holes in the lower left. If you painted the corners on the right side you need to do it again.

I don’t like the color !!!The can of paint the supplier gave me free last spring turned out to be too light…like milk chocolate. I purchased ($83) a quart of darker brown( selected from a book of paint chip samples). After application, in the sunlight, this is from the wrong end of the color spectrum. It has a tinge of green in it. I cannot like…[Read more]

Centari…a single stage polyurethane. It doesn’t go on as easy as the marine paint I used on the main body. Adding thinner to the paint causes the foam rollers to expand and fall off the roller handle. Luckily they’re really cheap at Harbor Freight. Applied the last I had tonight. As far as application, the initial rolling on of the paint causes…[Read more]
