Mike, I saw something I want. The red Beetle. If I can drive it home, I'll hop on a bus and head that way (I don't know where you are either). LOL
Stop in for a cup of coffee

ok I am curious...what is a shrinking stump?
Sign me up!!! That is awesome!!View attachment 1716119395 Well there it is all done just have to install the rest of the butt seats and get another inspection from the health department after I install a fridge to keep the uncooked meat in and I'll be a bonafide, certified, top drawer concession stand, tailgate party truck.
Haven't figured out how I can put you all on the seats and drive you around a car show yet without spilling your beer or loosing a few of ya .
THanks for the pics. THat 66 Dart is the color mine is supposed to be. THanks for helping me make up my mind not to paint it the original color! LOL
That's at Frank's place in Canada. (@Tooljunkie )

Detachable safety rail like a rollercoaster at an amusement park. You'd need to strap those bubbas down!
Well like I said truck is done so it's kind of a watching paint dry day for me.

My co-driver and I were havin' a mechanically bad race one time. Little hot rod would run fine for a time and then spit and sputter for a while. We were half a lap away from our main pit and wanted desperately to get back to it. It took some of his physical pushing in this one really bad dip in the track. A spectator saw us and as my co-driver was getting belted back in the race car the spectator handed us 2 beers through the window
Two swallows each and we were on our way 
We made it back to our pit for the driver change. Popped the distributor cap off and the wire on the points looked funny, them old VeeDubs the wire was attached to the points. Quickly changed the points out and off went the other driver/car owner and they had no issues for the rest of the race. After Paul was on the track I gave the contactor on the point wire a tug while I held the points, the copper pulled right out of it's insulation

Not sure what @Mopar Tim has in mind for travel schedule, but AZ is gonna have a monsoonal event Thurs night thru Mon according to NWS. I'm sure my brats in Phx will dig that 110° and rain. Don't that sound fun
110° and rain. Don't that sound fun
This van does not require a dome light
I knew Pete would Red X me on that. LOL @FISHYPETE you have a beautiful Barracuda but I am not a fan of the color for a car of my own. I'll never paint that car anyway. The next owner can do it.

That’s bright! I will admit I drove a conversion van like that to high school. Thank God it was navy blue inside. That would have been an awful color to have. Needless to say I wasn’t considered having a “cool” car.

Just having wheels. My HS car was a 64 Valiant V100 4 door POS.
Having wheels was nice. It beat having to take the bus. Not to mention the seat that folded down into a bed was a fun bonusJust having wheels. My HS car was a 64 Valiant V100 4 door POS.
I drove a 1968 Road Runner 383 4spd to High School. Had a Blast.......Just having wheels. My HS car was a 64 Valiant V100 4 door POS.
