Well overdue here for an update. What have I been doing????
A majority of my time has been spent getting the '59 vert rebuilt after the accident last summer which totalled the car. I wish I was keeping track of my hours because I have a ton of time into it thus far. But today I took it for it's maiden voyage around the neighbourhood. Like a Phoenix rising from the flames, it was truly a special day for me. I still have a lot of little things to finish up on it, but the majority or work on it is behind me.
I need to turn attention to the '65 13 window bus next as I have boxes of new parts for it I have collected over the winter. Some mechanical, some cosmetic. I found that Apple Auto Glass in Oakville does a nice job on interior work and they will do convertible tops for VWs, so I may take the bus interior in to get recovered in the grey covers I bought from TMI.
Next show I will be at is Drag Night in South Carolina. I have a few guys coming down with me, so if you are interested please drop me a line. It is shaping up to be the biggest racing event on the east coast, bringing numerous VW racers from across the country, as far away as California. The event date is July 11. After that is the Durham Bugfest in the Pickering area.
Back out to work on the '59 now. Added a stereo this year, featuring Kaption Audio equipment, and I need to wire it up.
OH, BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE LATEST POLL! I AM GOING TO GET A CRUISE GOING FROM HAMILTON MOUNTAIN TO PORT DOVER AND ALONG LAKE ERIE IN AUGUST AND NEED TO FIND A DATE. FIRST I NEED A DAY, THEN I WILL PICK THE WEEKEND.
