Very, Very nice. Love the shaver grill.
What motor? Is it the 390?

Nice! I am headed to the Junk Yard when I get off. Hope its not too muddy. Found a lifted 4runner in a local upull yard. I am hoping that I can get some good stuff cheap.

Nahh its a 302 it sounds pretty mean. We picked it up in MS, drove it the 500 miles home.
what kind of bug you working on?
Nice.
I had a '69 XL7 (I think that was it). It had a 351W (2bbl) with an FMX and it would bury the needle easy.
I drove that thing from Calgary to Nova Scotia on my Junk Yard Bar Tour in the late ninetys. I stopped at a Cougar graveyard somewhere in N. CO. That place has hundreds of old Cougars and had just the part I was looking for. Now a days you can buy most everything new.
That was a good trip. Yellowstone, Steamboat Springs, Denver, St. Louis, Daniel Boore NF and then up through Amish country and over to Maine before coming back into Canada.
And then back to Calgary. Great car that was. Sold it and got my 45.
I drove all the way to Kansas without a radio before I realized it was just the anttenna not plugged in.

Its a 74 Super Beetle, its got a pretty strong engine (for a bug) and today I was re-enforcing the rear end to stop the wheel hop and keep the engine from banging around. She scoots pretty good now

Gotta love them old cars, when a road trip was not about DVDs and gameboys and in your case radios
Just looking out the window and spending real time with the family, full of good memories.-Lenny
