Spent the day finishing up the tunnel and welded it to the body. Depending on how work goes tonight, I’ll see what I can get done tomorrow.
As a side note, back when I got my 31 Chevy, I had sold my 68 VW bug to a friend. Well, after 4 years he hadn’t done anything with it so when he said he was looking at selling it, I made a deal with him to buy it back. More than anything, I have an emotional attachment to this car. You see, I had originally bought it back in 2008 when I was stationed in NC. I drove it fairly reliably for about 3 years and put around 30k miles on it in that time. It was probably the ****tiest but most reliable car I had ever owned at the time. I regularly drove it to Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Myrtle Beach, etc. At the time, it was white with orange doors, a 1776, and had holes in the floors. But it was paid for and it was mine. After I got back from deployment I decided that it was time to fix her up as she should be but never got much further than taking her apart before I moved back to CA. Before moving to Montana, I replaced the floor pans, had the pan and suspension powder coated black, and rebuilt the steering. The pan is still, pretty much all brand new.
So, eventually, when I have time, I will turn back to the bug and get her resto-modded. This time, done how I wanted it to be 10 years ago. 1835cc engine, dual Weber carbs, Sunkist orange with blue pearl paint, and white interior.
