Rag top Repair

there were some small holes, ok big holes in the rag.
I am unsure what I am getting into, I am happy to say I did really well for myself.

Taking it down to the mech.




I would say the small things make a huge difference, I was able to replace the rag top by myself! I am happy to see a complete bus in my garage!!!

I will hopefully have it on the road by the end of the month of February.

THE NEW FOCUS.

I spent hours and a chunk of money redoing this room


My new little lady will be here in the next few days.







Well I tried to do everything I could to be driving my bus before the baby comes but I do not see that happening. I have put it in the garage and that is where it will stay baring some sort of miracle. I want to thank everyone again and hope to be on the road sometime in the future.

NEW BUS!!!! (I was the owner of two 21window deluxes for a short time.

Meet the busses.





Yep that is George Strait on my T, I got it at the Concert.



Yes I know what you are thinking I sold the original driving dreams bus. I may be a dreamer when it comes to VW but I am still able to see my limitations when it comes to metal work. I sold the bus out to California. I hope the best to the new owner. I was able to drive my new bus around the block mainly due to the help of cam. thanks for that I will stay warm through the winter just with that experience. I will be looking to have it on the road by May. I am super stoked. these photos were taken during the short time I was the owner of not one but two 21 window deluxes. How many people can say that. Not many I am sure.





Summer of Excitement. Wasatch Classic 11

My Lady and I trying to sell T- shirts.


My brother Merrill came with his wife and son, My lady loves babies.


Merrill came and did his best to push the shirts.



WASATCH CLASSIC 11




I have finally got my memory card up and running so I will finally have some pictures to show you. I would also like to ask that anyone who looks leaves a comment or two. I sometimes wonder why I am even writing a blog.

VW VS VESPA result.

The show winner was this clean 21 window deluxe
Raffle!

The red oval was the first to the show


The line up of buses.




The scooter lineup.



VW VS VESPA a good showing for a rainy day.


Well when I woke up in the morning the clouds were ominous in every direction but no rain was falling. I was hoping in my heart that it would stay that way. I was setting up all morning and around 10:45 the rain started. It poured down in sheets. I was standing in the rain in my patch jacket and cowboy hat looking down the street for any sign that someone would come. Five min to 11 I saw the first VW it was a ceiling wax red 1957 oval window bug! I was so happy to see it. for the next hour we had no one else show. I was disheartened. The rain kept coming and the shammy's kept wiping. around noon more people showed. a few more bugs then a 1964 21 window deluxe along with Daves single cab. Cameron Pyne showed up with his Vespa P-200E and his bay window bus. I was glad to see him. all and all about 20 entrys bettween the VW and Vespas. there were more VWs so this time VWs win. I am not sure I will be putting another show together next year but for all the rain I was happy so many came out. Many people came without there vehicles due to them being in various states of repair. thanks to all who came and even to those who thought about helping me out and couldn't come. I am very grateful. Thanks to RC WILLEYand Larry Smally at RC Willey for backing this event so much. Thanks also to Ken Garff VW, Vespa Utah, The Scooter Lounge, Wasatch Vintage Volkswagen Club, and all my other gracious sponsors that hung posters and told people to come!!! I will always remember this as a great day.
