Wiring almost done

I have almost completed the wiring. The headlights and turn signals are installed and actually work! The running lights are a glow in the picture. The entire system is not powered, I just "hot-wired" the system, to get power to the lights.

Parts!

It has been like Christmas, I have gotten parts from Old VWs Restorations, Wolfsburg West, and Airhead parts

Here is a nice big box!

A couple of awesome bumpers from Wolfsburg West. Pictures don't do these bumpers justice.

Sleeping Beetle, SHHHH!

The other night when I turned off the garage lights, I saw a lovely image of the fire reflecting of the white paint of my bug. So last night, I decided to try to take a picture. I use an F-stop of 11 and left the aperture open for 21 seconds. I was pretty happy with the end result.

More parts on order!

Finally made my final big parts order. I will get getting stuff from Old VW Restoations in GRB, Wolfsburg West, as well as some small stuff from Airhead Parts. I have had great. I've had great conversations with all 3 suppliers, and they are all great!

I have also been working in the garage. I got the pellet stove hooked up, it however doesn't pump out as much heat as I would like. Although my garage isn't fully insulted, so I am working on that. I am also workin on getting the bug out of the corner, and into the middle of he garage, for ease of installing parts.

Parts On Order

Just made a pretty good sized parts order from Old VW Restorations. Looking forward to getting the stuff and getting rolling. I am going to try real hard to get it complete by June 16th, the day of my annual summer party.

Pellet Stove Update

Well, I have had this old pellet stove sitting in the garage since fall, and have never done a darn thing with. Well, I finally starting to install it, since winter has finally arrived! I just needed to get a collar that goes through the wall of the garage. I am hoping to get the that installed in the next few days, then I can heat up the garage in preparation to install the wiring harness. Then the carpet, then the headliner.

New Cyber Pal!

I have recently meet a new friend online. His name is Eric Shoemaker, and his site is 1967beetle.com/ I have only been emailing him for a short time, but he has already been a wealth of 67 info.
