Well the blue stripe is no more and the wheels are next. Might make the wheels gray or dark silver.

I added this, Still have to redo the black in the center and maybe take some more silver off but you get the idea. Cool

That's awesome, and goes along with a running family joke we have. Last year while taking my 5 yr old son to school I got frustrated and called another driver an A$$ hole. I normally wouldn't cuss around him but I guess I was having a bad morning. Of course... my son promptly asks me what a Gas Hole is! I had to play it off telling him it's where we put the fuel....lol

Got off my ass and got rid of the blue wheels. I lowered the rear end one inner spline. Did some horse trading to get the front ones with 135's on them and mounted some 235's on the rears. I may paint them but for now i'm diggin the patina on them.

The "new" wheel style looks better IMO... but Id still paint the wheels...Maybe all silver/gray to match that logo..

I might paint them but I'm just going to drive it for now. After letting it sit for a while I'm re-excited about working on it.

So I took the rusty top off of my scout and started thinking d'oh!, Bad idea. I have enough projects already. I saved the front portion and the rear few inches just for the formed corners. I think you get the idea where this might go LOL.

I think I will round up another body to make a pickup cab with this top. That way i can still drive mine. Just from inital measurments it will have to be narrowed about 10" and chopped of course. For now I'll hang it in the rafters.

Just goofing around and made this in my laboratory. Still need to weld in the center piece and smooth out some welds. Not sure if I'll use it on my volksrod yet?

Dan.. thats rockin' awesome.. Love the eyebrow visor thats built in. Nice touch.
I dig it of course...since we have nearly the same taste..

So.. is this slated to to be a replacement body for Patty's named Pat since its half of its predecessor? Laughing

Yeah it will replace the sedan body which is really rusty. I'm not in a huge hurry to build it, Just whenever the mood strikes me. It will still be Patty, She is just getting some liposuction. Laughing
