Das Volks Vintage Volkswagen Gruppe

This is one of those big items that needed to be addressed, that just arrived at my door !!
gong to slap this puppy on and see how quiet she get's....

Run it, and let the paint burn off - it will... Then, pick up some VHT "Flameproof" paint at PepBoys. It's the inly stuff that stays on.
Follow the instructions and cure it like the can says.

Now, we'll see you at the duck...

yeah...saw it first hand this year at the St. Paddy's parade.
paint pealing off a brand new exhaust system...I'll run it this weekend grab a can...

Second major item complete and installed
185/14 HANKOOK RA08's !!
and what a change in the ride... decreased body roll immensely !!

So, will it be at the duck?

Cruizin' tonight was great....Ben Grimm is nice and quiet and I feel much better on the new rubber.
Still some minor tunning issues, as the engine get's to operating temp the idle gets slightly higher..
then you have all the quirks these cars have that make them an individual...
Iv'e taken it up to 45mph, but not on the highway yet...
But feeling pretty confident Ben Grimm...
WILL BE AT THE BIG DUCK!!

YES! Good feeling when a project comes together, isn't it?

Wow, Dave, that is awesome that you made your deadline, BBD. That was a big project in a short time, congratulations! can't wait to see it!

Super awesome news Dave.....

See you tomorrow!

KEEP A CHAIR AND A NICE ICE COLD POP READY,
BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A BIG ORANGE PIMPLY FACED BUS NAMED
BEN GRIMM...WERE COMING!!

super cool!......will have cold celebratory drink for you!

Looking forward to seeing it Dave, great job !

Dave not a puff of smoke out the exhaust! Good look with Benny.

Thanks....the bus has been alot of fun to date....and there are alot of dates to come!!

Out at Cedar Point this past weekend for 4 nights.

Lobster, nice ! How crowded was it ?

The rain on Friday kept everyone away...it was sparse...and we didn't leave till Monday afternoon.
Tell you what, you want to test a relationship? Stay in a bus for 24hrs... a true test, and I have to say I have a saint of a girl. We loved it, and found all sorts of fun INDOOR games..... cards, chess, backgammon...you know...stuff like that.

Wow. Glad to see you braved the elements. Looks like it paid off!!

I might do a Thursday-Sunday trip. Camping, tubing again, and a day trip to the amusement park and probably check out a local coal mine or cave too...

How was camping at Smiths Point? Thinking of going sometime this summer for it is easier to get a spot than Hither Hills. Any problem with bus getting around near beach?

It's REALLY hard top beat beach camping! Looks like a great night.

I have been there, it is a paved campground and can be very noisy at night . It is also not that easy to get reservations but it is easier that Hither Hills.

Smith point is a depressing place to camp! Very trashy when I was there.
