Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not as complex as what Mr. Mud is doing (good job by the way), but I was test fitting body parts today on the Boonie Basher. So far not too bad using just some old junk parts. I also cut down the bent up rear (bumper?) thingy. I tried to get that off but it wouldn't budge. I'll have to tie it to the oak tree and pop the clutch and see if that gets it yanked. It laughed at the sledge hammer so I busted out the ole Sawzall and gave it a haircut.
I think that the new fenders will look much better. I like the lines better and I ditched the one piece front end and am going back to a hood and fenders. The olive drab paint is a test too. Is it too light? It will be olive drab with black fenders when I get paint on it. ![]() Comparison of the old fender and the replacement. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I think the fenders on the bug look good. Back in my teens, I would pick up old VWs and order a set of header mufflers from JC whitney and with a roll of masking tape, door edge guard, and a cuttoff wheel on a grinder, I could turn one int a Baja Bug over one weekend. I like what you are doing to it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks, I do too. The fender that I took off seems to have lived a hard life. I'm no body man but I don't think it'll buff out.
![]() ![]() I didn't do any hands on work on the Bug today but I worked on it and my 63 plenty. I drove over 250 miles chasing parts. The best thing about CL is that you can get some smoking deals. The bad part is that you have to drive all day to pick them up. I left the house at 7:45 and got back about 3:00 with the truck loaded. I scored a nice 4 point rear roll bar to replace the stupid one that's on there now that looks like it just had a shot of Viagra. I got a complete new front brake system and a full Baja kit, I just needed the hood for my 63 but the guy said to take it all. I can sell the stuff that I don't need and get some money back. I only spent $350. New, the parts I need would have been over $1500 with shipping and I wouldn't have the extra parts to sell.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Took a ride up to Wilkes-Barre PA for a load of truck parts. Lots of rain and fog but overall good day. Rain held off long enough to get loaded and out so that was a plus. Just shy of 500 mile round trip.

I have family in that area . It’s sad how the area has declined over the years .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went to my Mother in Laws house and put up a security camera . About a month ago some one came up late at night and kicked her front door and broke the trim on it so I replaced that . We should be able to see who did it if it happens again.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Bought a new wood cutter upper today . I had a 15% off coupon from Home Depot . Website said 8 in stock after about 45 minutes of searching the kid comes out with a mangled up box . Said it’s all we got others must have walked . Ask when they will get more deer in headlights . He calls the manager and we look inside the box all the paperwork and a little bottle of two stroke oil but no scrench . He says 25% off and keep your coupon . So I got a $449 saw for $336.75

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not yet . It has a 5 year warrant so maybe after is coupe of years when I trust it’s a good saw . My first Echo saw but they do have a good reputation.

Good timing on my part. I still have a couple that are obsolete and my daily use saws are a Farm Boss Stihl and a MA 211 trim saw. They serve me well.

Maybe not -- apparently gas chainsaws 45cc or larger are still allowed.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Speaking of canopies I needed one for the 2016 GMC I just bought but only use it once or twice a year. Everything new was several thousand dollars. Nope found me an older aluminum one for $100 trimmed the back door down some, took some scrap .125 aluminum I had and made a quick kick out for the rounded tailgate. Riveted it on and called it a day. did not spend much time on it since it will get very rare use. All in I had about 3 hours time.

The thing I like the most is I can take it on and off by myself by hand. The one on my 2wd is fiberglass and have to be careful using the bobcat and forks .
