Sounds like fun Beetle...hope the rain stays away. Tip one back for me, I'll be doing final packing before my move to Japan.
Your press or?? I had my hood done in Bremerton years ago and always wondered where the press that the gent had then ended up.
There was an old fella in Bremerton by the name of Torg that used to have the only louver press in town. At least that was the story he told me over 10 years ago. He saw my 55 sitting outside my house one day when I lived there and we got to blah blah blahing.
figures im the last to find out. i would of rather been up there than working on a vw bug all day...jeffrey
COOL! We did that 20 plus years ago in Chehalis as Paul Harper brought his machine over from Roslyn, WA. He was into his 4th or 5th hood and I asked him if he ever screwed one up and he said no and then..............Oh **** and everybody turned to look. He misplaced a louver in a 51 Kaiser hood. A little time and jawing and then he turned the die over and pressed the louver back flat, welded it up with a wire feed and went about his business and it never showed the scar. Great memories for me so have fun with K-Member, have a few long necks and if things get tuff you can always work them out. And.........................................If you want to get everyone's attention ........................................ Holler Oh ****! Mike
sorry my bad being early spring forward and early easter im all mixed up hell ya ill be there just looked at the callender ....jeffrey
Damn you guys, now it looks like I just might have to paint the press this week so it looks a litttle nicer.
Man I wish I could find some good reason to come up that way? Need to get out of town for a "Little" while. Could have used you Beetle Saturday night.........I was "Talking" actually lickin this girls chest who said she would like to take me home and BLAMO!!!!! her Punk *** Boytoy ****er punched me right in the mouth, never saw it coming and good for me " Adams's " know how to take punches. The group I was with were all Probi's and when the cop's came they were all hiding under car's out in the parking lot, ***S!!!! So the Punk sat in jail over Easter, If he would have just been a man about it we both could have taken our shot's. Actually his ***** was the culprit. Never a Dull Moment Cody Hurst
