Im getting confused, strange,stranger and strangest. Who’s who?

Morning! Finally nice weather. 78° for a couple days then into the 80°’s . I miss the 80’s, anyone else? Anyhoo, vw gets a little re-assembly and out the door until parts arrive. And i better go check owners parts pile to see what he has. In the meantime, 37 chevy to rewire and get Studebaker...

Heard they are junk now. Thats what i need for Fargo. Drum/drum.

Beetle runs in its own,with gas tank connected. Brake lines and wheel cyls are blocked. Ordered new. So out it goes until parts show up. I get to drive it out though…

Nope, hydronic. And im shocked to see a wheel cyl plugged. Cant get fluid through it. Time to load the parts cannon.

Cant seem to build any pressure or get any fluid to the wheel cyls. This is taking way too long. And the “manual” is kind of useless.

I crashed at 9:30, and 4:40 wide awake. Dont think i moved at all. Think i will get moving, lots i would like to get done.

Morning! Looks like weather is about to turn into summer. Finally. Maybe grass will slow down. Back on the beetle. Get it running and moving/stopping is in my sights. Have to get Studebaker booked in for inspection.

Git Firebird dropped off, first guy i encountered that is happy that he doesent have to do any rust repair. Then cut some grass, dog run area first. Now she wont be soaked to her knees? Elbows? Every morning. We gettibg heavy dew if it doesent rain. Then sat on tractor mower for a couple hours.

Used to be able to go to parts store and pick one off the rack. I think they stock 4 now.

Its a regular tune on citi fm, our local radio station

And Firebird is on trailer and gone tomorrow. Found a bodyman/painter.

I have a pedal holder i made for doing alignments,works good for holding pedal. Had to troll through 3,000 ish photos to find it. 3/8” rod with a slightly larger hole in flat bar. Push rod to depress pedal, slide bar up to seat and it holds pedal down. Lots of walking. No waiting for helper.

Fuel line in. Master cylinder in before i install the new gas tank. Now i need to figure out how to bleed beetle brakes. Say that 3 times fast :lol: . Found someone interested in finishing the 80 firebird,hes less than an hour away.

I had one here, but let it go. Almost bought another older one,early 70’s but decided against it.

Started fiddling wuth fuel line. Didnt want to run it inside the passenger compartment. Going to do it against my better judgement. Its that or under the car. Nope. 37 chevy showed up. Its pretty much a dragster. Will be racking up some hours on that one. Total rewire,and hasnt run in 2 years...

Hagerty as well?

Morning! Beetle is in shop, and that 38 or 37 chevy is coming for a re-wire. Silly dog was a little feisty last night,dont know why. She grabbed my shoe and managed to hide it.

67. Its very solid. Was painted 20 years ago,stored indoors ever since. Gas solidified in fuel system,master cyl is junk.

In the shop now. First thing is fish the gas line through the tunnel. Then see if fuel pump works. I pulled carb and went through it last year. Then give it a good warm up.

Morning! Here comes the rain again. 38 chevy may not show up. Beetle doesent run, and i dont want to play in the rain to get it in the shop. So i guess im fiddling with the studebaker.

80 power wagon onto an 02. Screen shot the earlier comment and sent it to my son. He’s officially excited. Cummins chassis has no body, and he had it running. So im picking cab off the power wagon and fixing the body then placing it on the CTD chassis. We may use a long box to save time...

So, s10 2.2 develops a rattle at idle when hot. Its the common timing chain tensioner. My local supplier doesent stock the chain kit or gaskets. Rock otto is 1/2 the money so thats what my plan is next. And a new muffler.

Thats exactly what im hoping for. With any luck i wont prove you wrong.

I think he got a painless kit. I have a couple kits here i found on Amazon. There are decent ones and crap. Crap is like a dash harness, gooder ones are generous with the wire, from headlight to taillight.

Morning! Think its shop cleanup day. Sort out some stuff in quonset to make room for the 38 chevy coming for a total rewire. And need to get the beetle gone.

Car show was good. I didnt get a chance to wander too far as i was working the registration desk. Took a while to get organized too. 127 cars. Broke record of 108. So all in all the show was a great succees

Morning! Clear and calm. Perfect day for a show and shine. About to get going, clean windows and dust the dashboards. Or not. We drive em. Thats what i built them for. Hoping for a good turnout.

Me too. Fargo and Studebaker.

Yup. Hate the pedal arrangement. For some reason the cruise works now. Sluggish to engage. Thinking the servo is sticky from lack of use. Did some driving around, lots of traffic here this weekend. Fair,fireworks parade and car show. Also live entertainment.
