Das Hood....and tank.

I went up last Sunday and picked up a replacement hood and tank off a doner 1971 Super. I wish i could of taken the entire car, but he wanted a bit too much. I hope to work on the car this weekend, swap the hoods, transfer the hardware to the "new" tank, and pull the hubs.

Thanks for reading!

Parts Parts Parts

I have found some parts i hope to pick up on the 28th. Hood, gas tank, headlights, Taillight covers, and turn signal covers...

Once i get the garage back in order i am planning on moving the car to a more central location in the garage, then starting to take it apart.

Once i get it to the body and pan roller I am going to cut out the battery area and get a new one in there. Then it needs to go to my buddy to get some body work done to it, along with some flat black paint.

Next step is order my wiring harness and rewire it. Once that is done we can start putting her back together.

Sounds quick...but i know its not.

Don't fret....

I am slowly getting the garage cleaned out.....

Oh well....

I did not make either show, but missed them for a good reason. Me and my family were able to get a lot of work done at my parent's house. It looks like I will be trying to get my garage back in order soon so look for new pics and progress soon!

POWER!

Well late last night i got power back at the house. Means i can get the garage back in order and get back out working on the Beetle. I hope to make it to 2 shows this weekend, the V-Dubs and Texas Nights show on Saturday night and the Volks in the Village show on Sunday. Both should have a swap meet so i might find a few things. I will post some pics for all to see.

Back from Ike....

Well the family, house, and 72 Super are ok. My parents house did not fair quite as well as ome 2 foot of sea water flowed into their home due to the storm surge from Ike. So my mom, dad, and brother are living in my house. I am not sure the next time I will be working on the bug, but i hope soon!

It looks like Hurricane Ike is coming our way, and my zip code has a mandatory evac...

The car is in no shape to move, so I will take as many pics as I can and hope for the best.
