That guy in the shorts looks vaguely familiar....  Deano, I can't believe you were in Oregon, and didn't cruise down the coast a ways to see your old buddy kaferdave....  |

Went out tonight and installed the valve spring shims I picked up from Eddie at Painter's Grinding when in Denver for the Bug-In. They carry steel shims that fit the valve spring cup in the head correctly and go under dual springs. Finished up my valve job and have a small flycut to make before putting the heads back on my freshened up 2275.

went to LowBugget last night and got one of those little wire basket cup/crap holders that fits over the tunnel so I won't spill my coffee every morning. And a couple of strainers to keep my oil happy. Pretty exciting stuff! |

Took my 67 for a cruise down to Alex (DefCon 3) Taylor for a jibber jabber. Tried on a different wheel. Didn't like the look, so staying with stock...for now.  Sweet as |

I went to the "Prefecture" to do my last toy French title (because my car comes from Germany). So now, that little 1974 bug with 100.000 original miles is mine ! |

I went to work in one. I will have to get back home in the afternoon. As far as more exciting things are concerned, I will need to fill the tank on my way back. I have to admit that I don't have much time for some extra activity on my Beetles now. But I'm glad that I have one that is operational and I can use it. Driving them is a part of the hobby, isn't it? |

I purchased the car from a friend that has had it for the last 12 years, he was not able to get it finished and I was able to purchase it, the car was restored to stock 27 years ago. 12 years ago the car had the original drivetrain removed and a Der Trans Axle built and installed, adjustable front beam with disc brakes and it has a Roger Crawford engine that was built for it that was dyno run only and needs to be installed. I'm looking forward to getting it together and driving it.
Andy

I drill and tape a case for case savers and realized I used the wrong tap(m12x1.75 instead of 1.5)... Bought an oversized case saver (m14x8!) to save the job. => Note to myself, think twice, cut once |

I ruined the "traditional" part of my dual QP's by welding on an O 2 bung. |

I ruined the "traditional" part of my dual QP's by welding on an O 2 bung. Just put a spark plug in the bung when you're done reading mixtures and tell people it's part of a flamethrower kit. Any butterhead rockabilly will tell you that flamethrowers and girls covered with sideshow tattoos are traditional. |
