volksrod?

[travisyoung]

steering mocked up, now just for some welding and fitting to the car

[travisyoung]

got a peep mirror for the volksrod today, the guy's house i went to had a 67 belvadere all origanal including the paint,  also got the roof off the rod painted

[travisyoung]

volks rod is at my house now, couple more panals painted and the rear sway bar removed,  parts ordered, rear whell cylinders and brake lines and a super beetle speedo cable, i was under the impression that they were longer and would reach the extended front end

[travisyoung]

trying to figure out lowering the rear, the 62 was one outer and i cant decide whether to go one outer or one inner, was thinking the outer notch moved it a little futher than the inner spline

True

[travisyoung]

probably one inner then, dont want to get too low, got my needed list, including front turn signals, rear tail lights and mounts, generator, fuel pump, plug wires, trans mount,  lower engine studs to mount to the trans, think they are m10 x 1.5,some sort of tires, prob make my own white walls, coil, air cleaner, wireing and fuel stuff, brake fluid resevior, and possibly some other stuff and she will be ready to go

[travisyoung]

made a lot of progress today, doing some picking. found alot of parts i needed,  did a little painting,  lowered one side of the rear one inner notch, painted my first white wall,  gouged my thumb with the grinder,

[travisyoung]

little less productive today, most of the car is now black, need to mask the door windows off and paint there,  started welding the brace for the gas tank and cut out the old mount to make room for the steering linkage

[travisyoung]

trucking right along

[travisyoung]

steering linkage in,  chuck stopped by to check on the progress

[travisyoung]

lacking ignition switch and brake fluid resovior(sp) got the other side lowered, got one side of the wheel cylinder installed

Looking good. Keep it up and you will be crusing around before you know it.
