Last snow took 2 hours for both driveways. A third of that was people wondering what the hell I was driving and where did I get it. Was fun watching people getting their asses kicked with their snow blowers. |

Very cool toy, Chad. It's all about the right tools isn't it? For us, it's the Honda ATV, and the Kubota for the really deep stuff. My neighbor, down the way, does most of the road, so I mainly have the driveway and road in front of the house to do. The ATV makes it sorta fun. _________________ Mike

I want to take a minute to thank Cook for his help yesterday. He got my pan ready for paint, did some welding (a lot of welding actually) and made it look easy. I'm very happy. Thanks Chad. _________________ My 71 Ghia Been in my family since 1980

I started painting the pan last weekend, then spilled a quart of Masterseries all over the driveway. I plan on finishing it this weekend. _________________ My 71 Ghia Been in my family since 1980

This frame head had some rust in it. We patched it and replaced it with parts of another frame head from a front clip I bought cheap. _________________ My 71 Ghia Been in my family since 1980

I've done 2 Supers. One Vert, and one sedan. Replacing a frame head is not easy. How bad is yours? Do you have pics? Might be better to patch it. _________________ My 71 Ghia Been in my family since 1980

Search user name "beetlenut" in the gallery. He has quite a few pics of the repairs on his Super. _________________ My 71 Ghia Been in my family since 1980

I have been neglecting the Ghia so much that the inspection expired in November and I didn't realize it until Cook and I went to Hagerstown last Saturday. _________________ My 71 Ghia Been in my family since 1980
