My dad had a fiber glass shop when I was young and made dune buggy's. My job was to take the body off the floor pan and then drive them in the shop a block away. Had lots of fun sitting on a 5 gallon bucket running around on a floor pan.

When they were building I 40 across the Mojave, my dad worked for one of the contractors that for some reason seemed to get every other construction phase from Barstow to Needles. Christmas vacations I went with dad to work, it was a good break from school. One of my jobs every morning was to first light the smudge pot next to the water pump and tank for the concrete plant. Can't make concrete with ice cubes
. Then get the smudge pot in his control room goin' and then get the 30 cup coffee pot goin' . After that it was fire up my dirt bike and hit the desert . In summer in Needles, I went to their yard and filled the back of his company truck with 50 lbs blocks of ice to put in that same water tank .
Sounds like fun, I miss working with my dad.When they were building I 40 across the Mojave, my dad worked for one of the contractors that for some reason seemed to get every other construction phase from Barstow to Needles.

I followed in his footprints. Made for a very lucrative 40 year career. He told me when I was an apprentice "Stay away from hot plants (asphalt plants) they're dirty and they smell bad." So of course I spent 25 of those years making black top

Sounds like what I did, my dad was a body man and he told me to not get into the trade and that's what I did. Should a listened to him and went to med. school. lolI followed in his footprints.

If it’s a newer 1600 vw had problems with #3 cly over heating something to do with the dog house and the body restricting air flow over it. So they retarded the timing on #3. I put a distributor from an old 1200 in it worked a lot better but I don’t have a body on it. Another FYI that engine has no head gaskets. tapered fit get new pushrod tubes if you take it apart had lots of trouble with oil leaks reusing the old ones.

Engine oil cooler right over number 3 inside the fan shroud. Restricted air flow. Not one of VW's better ideas.
New grand girl born yesterday. That makes 22 total. I'm happy....

Easy Fred. Just have two candles inside the car instead of just one LOL.
Same here. Git some shaggymane shrooms growing in my lawn. gonna make some appetizers out of them.
They are all a bunch of liars, lets face it. They tell you what you want to hear and do the complete opposite or nothing at all. Just interested in the lifetime pensions and paycheques not like us
How was the car show Fred?
Oh she is gorgeous Fred. One lucky man.
Check out the video of my daughter I just sent you LOL
Been sunny and warm here for to many days for this time of year.
They make a gallon jug with 5 wicks for a candle here to keep in your car in winter if you break down. Also a survival kit to last 3 days in a storm.
Mushrooms have been a pain in my grass for the last 3 years.
I did, a sweet gal ya got, hang on to her not much better than that.......
I use a golf putter to wipe them out, works good and is kind of fun.

I think a 1 iron is made for more distance
Over the fence. Into the neighbor's pool perhaps
Putter is a lot friendlier to the grass. Seen my uncle drive 100 yards with a putter once. Man those guys were fun.I think a 1 iron is made for more distance
Pool? we don't have pools here but Combines or tractors yea I could lodge a mushroom in the neighbors grain hauler.I think a 1 iron is made for more distance
