  1. I buy broken Leopold lifetime warranty scopes off of ebay. Send them in and have a new scope for very little.
  2. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VW-Bug-Beetle-Carburetor-Synchronizer-Carb-Sync-Tool-AC000130-Dual-Carbs-/172327264552 I had lots of issues getting them to sync as well. But, I was a total newb dealing with more than one carb. To be honest if I had known how much trouble it was going to be I'd had stuck with a single.
  3. they are the originals that came on it. Have some pinpoint problems with the chrome but will have to live with it.
  4. Just spent $3000 in parts needed. Half was WWW Coker radials. Hopefully before summer hits. But up here that's June/July. lol
  5. latest progress.
  6. Not going to change it.
  7. The car is stock with a 12 volt gen.
  8. Mine is already a 12 volt system.
  9. Everything on the Speedway is good so far. I just need to change the alternator harness to generator. I can make that harness but I'd like to use as much of the speedway one as I can.
  10. Has anyone used one of the new one size fits all wiring harnesses (such as speedway or painless), and changed the wiring from their alternator setup to a generator setup?
  11. I wish that I'd added FM when I had mine done. The only AM stations around me are strictly sports talk. Can't listen to it.
  12. That's where and who I bought mine from. Thanks for the memory jog.
  13. I bought a brand new blank one somewhere but don't remember at the moment where.
  14. I bought one for the wife to use in her quilting. As far as I know it's also never been used.
  15. "Beater with a heater. Transmission is a little messed up not sure what’s wrong with it. You have to put it in second gear to drive at first and when you go over 25 miles you put it to drive also you can’t get past 35 miles. Left Tail light is broken put some repair tape on it. Car smokes every now and then. I think it needs a new battery. One of the windshield wipers screw needs to be tight or else one of the windshield wipers won’t work. Also the horn doesn’t work. Needs new tags. Other than that drives pretty well." Other than that it drives well. lol What the heck is left?
  16. Picked up the door panels yesterday.
  17. I don't remember ever seeing this year/model when growing up. I can remember lots of 50 and 51's and 56 to 59's.
  18. Must have been out of blue seat covers the day they installed them. lol Nice car.
  19. As long as goats just carried rifles most likely more people would go. Free rifle, rug and meat for the table. lol
  20. I just came back from Kodiak Island. A friend and I were mountain goat hunting. It was in the mid to upper 30's for highs but the 2 to 3 feet of snow kicked my old butt. Climbing mountains and carrying goats back down emphasized that that hunt would be my last for goat.
  21. She looks so happy to be out there doing that.
  22. Never underestimate the knowledge a father has and what they can accomplish.
  23. Got some more upholstery back.
  24. This is one of the prototypes made by Pina Farina. I like the one above better than this one.
