Title: The '64 sunroof build Post by: The Ideaman on March 12, 2009, 05:07:36 am (http://images2d.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp53687%3Enu%3D3279%3E979%3E979%3EWSNRCG%3D323%3A6%3A%3C449%3B6%3Cnu0mrj)
Got ready to pull the body off this morning. Title: Re: It started today. Post by: AssHull on March 12, 2009, 05:32:21 am Looks like you got a good car to start with. That's ALWAYS nice...but then again, we all know how quickly that goes downhill the deeper you get. What's in store for it? ???

Fairly unmolested. (http://images2d.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp5368%3A%3Enu%3D3279%3E979%3E979%3EWSNRCG%3D323%3A6%3A%3C449%3B75nu0mrj) Daniel Hood clipped it just before Christmas. Car is originally Panama Beige, but the more I look at the dash the less I like it. Paprika red with 15x5.5's and deep 6's. Engine is going together now... 2276 5.325 chevy journal L6T heads with 40x37.5 valves XR296 with 106lc 1 5/8" exhaust with dual qp's 9 to 1 compression ratio I haven't decided if it will get the injectors or 48 dellorto's.

Sure is ugly! (http://images2d.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp5368%3A%3Enu%3D3279%3E979%3E979%3EWSNRCG%3D323%3A6%3B3393%3A%3B%3Cnu0mrj) Cleaned up pretty nicely. (http://images2c.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp5365%3B%3Enu%3D3279%3E979%3E979%3EWSNRCG%3D323%3A6%3B3393%3B7%3Cnu0mrj) One bad repaint over original Panama Beige. (http://images2c.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp5365%3B%3Enu%3D3279%3E979%3E979%3EWSNRCG%3D323%3A6%3B3393%3B95nu0mrj) Still has chalk marks behind gas tank. (http://images2d.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp53674%3Enu%3D3279%3E979%3E979%3EWSNRCG%3D323%3A6%3B3393%3B9%3Anu0mrj) Won't need too much work. Gotta call Bryan back, so we can go see "The Rodbuster".

Bryce Anderson is finishing off the clip. (http://images2c.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp5365%3B%3Enu%3D3279%3E979%3E979%3EWSNRCG%3D323%3A856936%3C2%3Cnu0mrj) Bryan67's head poking over the top. Bryce bent up a piece to section in where the rust was.

Post by: Zach Gomulka on March 21, 2009, 00:13:58 am All I see is X
Title: Re: It started today. Post by: Zach Gomulka on March 21, 2009, 20:17:13 pm There they are! You should weld up that line of holes on each side, and the ones on the hood. Looks much better that way.
Title: Re: It started today. Post by: Bryan67 on March 22, 2009, 01:55:11 am And while your at it get rid of the vent windows. No window trim either...
Title: Re: It started today. Post by: Shubee2 (DSK) on March 22, 2009, 04:42:12 am Dont forget to fill The Exhaust Outlets ;D ;D ;D or is this going to be a Resto CAL LOOK? ;D

Title: Re: It started today. Post by: Zach Gomulka on April 02, 2009, 21:55:07 pm You probably have it done by now, but I found the article on filling the exhaust cut outs in the 2002 HotVWs "Totally Tech" special. I'd scan it, but I don't have those capabilities :P
Title: Re: It started today. Post by: The Ideaman on March 13, 2010, 02:54:35 am A week has turned into a year, but one peashooter is filled
(http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3502316&id=544247009) Pan halves are in today. Wolfsburg West pans totally Rock. Title: Re: It started today. Post by: mcmscott on March 13, 2010, 04:39:28 am You like your pan halves and show pics of pea shooter holes? By the way my name is Scott.....
Title: Re: It started today. Post by: The Ideaman on March 13, 2010, 06:36:15 am The battery on the camera died. Pics of the pan tomorrow. No beer for you, one year. Bad fabricator, bad!
By the way, Scott of Metalcraft put the pan halves in under 2 hours, even cutting out the old ones. Probably would have taken less time if I didn't "help". Title: Re: It started today. Post by: Zach Gomulka on March 15, 2010, 16:56:02 pm Damn, and AssHull thinks I'm slow! :D
That apron looks nice, wish we started with one that good! Title: Re: It started today. Post by: The Ideaman on March 16, 2010, 14:53:23 pm WW pan halves fit really well. Dropped them in after punching holes around the edges to plug weld.
