I thought you looked familiar. Couldn't exactly place it though!

Yeah, we'll be there. I hope to have my single wheel trailer rolling by then. We're leaving Kingwood around 11am friday.

Y'all can find a few of the things we sell here:

My friend Jim sharing a couple of celebratory cigars- I have been helping him out with his '50 F*rd F1, he was a VW virgin.


Installing cheap '59 Caddy tailights into some nasty patch panels- Don't know when I will be able to afford/find correct Euro '55 tailights!

The soup was used for a metal form, the bottle of Shiner is for drinking!

They were too long so I frenched 'em. Here I'm making the buckets:


Bucket install:


They work!


Moving on to window sills, several needed repairing:


I don't have a cargo door handle so I made a special one- Hazet wrench (what VW used on the assembly line) holding a "KAMAX" bolt (original OEM that was in the bus), It says "55" the model year of my kombi.


Repairing several dents in the 1 year only decklid:


3 dents and 27 holes repaired later:

The bus is a Euro, so I think the plate is appropriate!!

Old crusty KM speedo:

Installed refurbed speedo (odo set to all nines so I could turn it over), Ambulance fans in, Engine almost done...Can you tell I like to pinstripe?


Cleaning out the gas tank as best I could....Check out the floor:


Closeup of what I pulled out WITH MY BARE HAND!!!

I have since rebuilt a new carb due to all the crap that got past the first fuel filter!

Did a full size mouse get past the filter?

nice....

Very cool Todd

Nice work.

Thanks. I'm trying to catch y'all up to what it looks like now, so you'll know what to look for in Fredricksburg!

Eliot- did you get my PM?

Didn't know it's ready to go to FB ... cool

New bumpers, rear safari, decklid, third brakelight, and engine installed:
