Das Volks Vintage Volkswagen Gruppe

Ed was one of the nicest if not the nicest guy I’ve met through the VW scene. Always so even keeled and straight to the point. I will cherish the fond memories camping and doing VW things with Ed. Rest easy my friend.

Mike nice job. Take a look at the local parts store. They have chrome sleaves with chrome caps that fit right over the valve stems. I'm sure that would be right up your alley. I put them on my little trailer.

That why I love this place!

You guys really had some great weather for that parade. How many cars showed up total? Who's oval is that? I haven't seen that one before. I think you posted this in the wrong thread Glenn. here's where this comment would probably go better. http://www.dasvolks.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=4...

I heard they sell there expired items out the backdoor to ebay sellers.

Looks great AOT. Now have some fun and load it up with the most random crap and drive around.

I think this car needs to keep that arctic camo look. Get it straight and smooth and flat. And then lay that camo back on there for real out of a gun. Make sure the paint shop adds flatener to the paint to knock down the shine.

Cool

Next time I'm sure you'll fit it before you paint it all up. Car looks nice and shiney. Is it ready for the season?

Looks good. I'm so paranoid over those little fires. You really need to stay on top of that shit. I had some undercoating go up on me last night. Of course welding and grinding while my right shoulder is leaning on a 10 gallon fuel tank was enough to keep me alert. That interior corner looks like it...

I guess you might be able to leave a cable in the new channel to use as a drag at a later date.

Nice Ken. Those channels don't look horrible. It should go smoothly.

Wow. You're really racking up the hours on this one!

Still a little cold for epoxy Ken. I would wait till is above 50. But I know how it is trying to get stuff done.

Raj you are doing a splendid job on this ride. It should look tight when it is done. I'm pretty sure you have a raised beam in stock. Any plans to put that in this car?

filler is your freind

PM sent. Good luck Ken.

Thats why I love this place.

Thanks GA... but keep in mind i have tons of trophies, and will continue to have more as long as no more than 2 other cars show up in my class.

Well maybe they won't be offended when you park near them now.

Wow lots of hear say on this thread and all sorts of new ideas. My most recent experience happens to be with a 1 year only type one tank. I put in a large hand full of sheetrock screws and a hand full of half inch by half inch bolts. According to the Eastwood fuel tank sealer instructions shake the ...

Nice. Spread a little filler you should be ready for paint right when it warms up outside.

I see a trophy in your future!

Thanks

Thats probably why the guy threw out that thermometer Ken. Stick it in a glass of ice water should read 32 degrees. If it don't toss it.

Keep us posted.

If someone is going to cut off the nub, I'd bet it would be you.

My busted motor had 3k miles. I stopped driving it until I can pull it out and have a peak.
