Das Volks Vintage Volkswagen Gruppe

Glenn,

My friends shop uses NIC products, and I can tell you the blacks and greys go on bare metal, nothing underneath. They also don't require ultra high temp curing like the metallics.

I really can't wait to see this. Your bus was pretty damn mint to begin with, nice to see it being prepared for Pebble Beach.

congrats! bus looks great - must be really fun to drive....

the oil cooler seals are easy to change, but you'll need to take the motor out.

nice! any pics of the clip? Curious what it looks like, can't tell from that pic.

I am very envious of your IRS setup! So much easier than this swingaxle and RGB stuff. I should have just converted mine to IRS.

lookin good! With this weather, you should be cruisin in no time!

I concur.

you gonna get the body blasted when you're done?

something about this is so very RIGHT.

good luck with your new bug!

Are Clay and Mary the guys with the highroof splitty?

wow...busbbq's twin!

Looks like a GREAT bus to work with, enjoy it! Can't wait to see the interior come along.

nice!

Interior is so nice...

whats the story with the roof dents?

nice! Can't wait to see the back down too.

AoT, the wonder looks great! The hood turned out mighty spiffy, want to paint my bus next?

I recommend these! GREAT price too! (dont forget to get bulbs)

E-code beam patterns ...

GA would know more than me, but should you avoid the tape there, and try to blend/feather the new paint to the old? I think it will be less noticeable, and you definitely wont get that sharp tape line where old meets new.

makes sense to me.

i like that pic... i can see the thing, the baja, and the 65

take a look at this thread:

Sounds like you might have a gas cap issue as I thought.

wow, looks great! Keep it up...you coming to litchfield?

a good theif carries a mutli tip driver...

nice job, looks good! Does the mirror vibrate when you're driving? The WW Elephant ears are almost useless when the bus is running

lookin great!!

How's Peabody doing? Will he or she? make it to etown?

at what point does it become worth it to convert to carbs? I assume at the end of the day - they are more reliable?
