What you did to your ACVW today?

[Matty]

OK, this is the only forum I use that DOES NOT have this thread already. Just let us know a quick or not so quick note about what you did to your ride(s) today.

I'll start; Installed a set of pop-out windows out of a '67 I picked up for $40 from the Woodburn 2010 Volksters Choice Winner Mark  . BS'd with him for a few and his next build will be a 32 Ford coupe Volksrod(I can see Peter drooling now  )
 Then re-jetted my H30/31 and seems to be running more efficiently. I swapped the main jet for a 127.5 and the idle for a 55. I may use a 125 for the main instead of the 127.5

Drove it into Portland and just had a good day with the family. Great pizza for lunch, walked around the Pearl for a bit. The bug is running great, enjoying the weather while it lasts.

Its about time for this thread. Thx Matty.


Didn't do anything to it today.  Heading back to Long Beach today.     But yesterday I built my 4.5 narrowed beam I am doing for a air ride set up.

[Matty]

damn J - new pan....new air ride beam....I guess if your going to trade a Bus for Bug, this is the way to do it

Finished putting the front beam back together. It should pass at the alignment shop now. Took it for a spin out to Hillsboro to check out Mark's turbo motor then to Sonic's with the oldest boy for milkshakes.

Did a nice  burnout from a stop light...

[CatBox]

his next build will be a 32 Ford coupe Volksrod(I can see Peter drooling now  )

Drink Coke, please try again.

Its a 37 Ford Volksrod  and he has already made some swell progress on it.

Oh and I just looked at how crooked I parked it on saturday.

wet sanding.....

Oh and does dreaming about doing burn-outs count?

[Matty]

Sorry Peter, I thought he said a 32. 

Anyways, I'm going back up to his place tonight to pick up the set of doors that have 1 piece glass installed in them. That way i can keep my stock doors stock if I don't like the others. Plus the 1 pieces windows were installed fairly well and work pretty good AND the doors are white

Yeah he is a super nice guy with loads of talent. 

soak up some of his skills while you are there...

[Matty]

I didn't put it together who he was until I was in his garage and saw his project pictures on the wall. Then I was like, "hey, aren't you...". Very nice guy; very appreciative of the Volksters Choice award he won. He had a Dbug beam extender sitting on the workbench that is going in the Volksrod

Shmiddy,

Did you use a jig to build your narrowed beam? I would love to take a look at it!

sorry don't mean to laugh but the only jig he used was the dance move he did when the beam should up in the mail. 


I have a jig at my house. 











Sorry Matty had to kick you right in the Nantuckets
