Hi Guy's, had an awesome morning today! Mark and I went to get some tires for the bug and had them mounted and put them on the car.

Thanks Bob.  My notch is sitting waiting for the new power plant.  Plans are to have it on the road w/a 2275 by the Classic.  Get the nutella mobile on the damn road dude!  ha  Let me know if you need some help with anything.  I'm certain Rick and a few others would jump at the chance to help.

Thanks Danny, I appreciate it.  Jason, we got the tires from Charlie Anderson at Performance Plus in Long Beach. I wanted to run matching tire brands on Front and Rear, It drives me crazy when things don't match.  OCD I guess.... Tongue

Hi Guys, Quick question. I'm going to send the original bumpers to have them chromed plated at Verns Plating in Gardena Ca.  They quoted me $1,000. for both and back up light housings. Does that sound like a reasonable price?  Any help would be much appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Bob.

Well I don't know on the chrome would have to call around for comparison there is a good bumper shop in whittier on greenleaf near telegraph but don't remember the name.I figure that would include any straightening or ding removal and they would look tits. Just as a side thought  the Wolfsburg west bumpers are $359 for front and $419 for rear.

also Fast Fabs hand made beautiful aluminum T bars are about $70.00
