Got the notches today!!
Still waiting on my rear wheels, Its been 5 weeks, I called and they are still two weeks out! So in the next few weeks it should be rolling.
I also got the wrong lower ball joints from CPP so wainting on those also. I still have plenty work to do on other things so I'll post pics when there something done.

until i saw this last post i was going to say fab your own notches lol. i wasnt a vehicle fabricator or welder either until i started my build. always welded and fabricated on equipment though. but oh how we learn quick! i cant even get my wife to sit with me while i work must less turn a wrench. although she does lend a hand if i beg her and dont have anyone else. truck is looking good ya'll. gonna keep an eye on this one.

Time, ability, and money.
Sometimes we have more of one and not enough of the other, I assume most of us are this way, when gaining one the trade of is usually one of the others!
I'm trying to balance them all!!

thinks for all the positive comments!

My son didn't have anything to do what cars until he got a drivers license!
He's 19 now and I can't count the cars he's had, but his taste is getting better! I've always been into vw's so I guess that's why he likes them too?

How can you NOT like old bugs?

jdoisher · 08-08-2012, 09:02 AM

Very small update! I got the driver's rear bag mount done, in my head I'm always going to do more than I seam to get done! My plan after work was to get both sides done, but after almost four hours I got one side done! Drilling, cutting, trimming, fitting and welding always goes faster in my head!! I'm going to do the other side tonight!! In the mean time heres a few pics.
Cut out the lower bag plate.

Next will be front and rear shock mounts, than moving on the mounting the air management system. Think I'm going to put it all behing the cap on the stock bed floor frame just below the new raised floor.

coulter · 08-08-2012, 09:24 AM

sweet man keep them updates coming!!!!

jimmydean · 08-08-2012, 01:37 PM

Looking good!

I bought my son a '67 bug project for his 16th. Spent a year getting it all cleaned up and ready and he rocked it for 3 years. Love the Cal Look with the rack, Brandon's had a sweet wood rack, too.

jdoisher · 08-08-2012, 01:42 PM

For those that dig vw's. Heres one of my three!
Found it in a barn (a real barn) it had been sitting 33 years! Lowered it, fixed the brakes, and got it running, than drove it 30 plus hours to St. Petersburg Fa. for a show, dropped a valve along the way but thats a long story!!
