Cool, I wouldn’t want to fill that with junk.




Hey, check this oval.. mighty nice! I’d like to build my oval like this. Old school cal look style. I grabbed these from: http://www.radikalbugz.com





Hey, Check this out. I got my cars “birth certificate” in 1 month. That is pretty quick. I was thinking it would take months. Anyway, lots of great info in there.. Anybody know what M-50 is? Also I’m going to guess the car colour was silver or blue since the car was ordered with red leatherette.. what do you think?
**** This just in. M-050 is - Dual circuit brake warning light ****
So I’m putting this 1958 convertible beetle on the block. I threw it on the local ACVW site and got a lot of interest. I’m looking to trade for a good running 36hp motor or plain ole’ cash so I can get the 36er I have started. Anyway, a little sad to see it go, but honestly its a bit new (like not pre 57) and I’m not going to get to it any time soon. So, hopefully it will be bought and can get back on the road. I don’t think it has been on the road for over 20 years. ##SOLD##



OK, so I’m visiting 1 of the 2 local places to buy beer on my island and something grabs my attention.. keep in mind the selection here isn’t the greatest.. lots of Budweiser, Coors, Labbats50, dog piss. Anyway, out of the corner of my eye I spot something. It seems the Belgians (is that the correct way to say it??) have been busy. They put together a nice little mix of beer. So I plunk down my $30 and now I’m ready to tackle the afternoon. Ah. beer. So I’ve got the following on my list (in any order):
Beer
Authentic Mexican food
Old VWs
Beer
Philippines




Took these rod pictures at the OCTO meet this summer. Check out how low down you sit in that thing.. Pretty cool.
OK, so I also have a bit of a soft spot for hot rods.. not the fancy over done 20 inch wheel ones, just the old school, dirty ones..


Serial no.

case half number. both sides have this
.. and here is my 36hp case. This engine was made Mar 21/22 1957, but close enough for the price. Thanks Stacey! Check all the different numbers besides the serial number.
