    Shop Tour

    I was inspired by RodKirby's tour of his shop, so I thought I'd give a tour of my now 1-year-old garage shop.

    I'm not saying my set-up is superior to his, but you can see that the BT3100 is at the very center of my shop:

      I imagine you have to get the patio furniture out this weekend.
      Sometimes the old man passed out and left the am radio on so I got to hear the oldie songs and current event kind of things

        You should have plenty of room with the 2 bugs in there. Don't know if Rod is planning a trip over here.

                        I was guessing 53-54 and 71-72 (just a guess). Maybe Moc can let us know (if he ever get out of his shop)

                            the headlights are a dead give away for a 67, the only year bug to have unique headlights. they are an odd blend of old style (-66) and new style (68-).

                            I used to be a bit of a bug enthusiest

                              But the thing about bugs (or the peoples car), was they were also easy to mod.

                              I used to help a friend with his, after my brother tore up my parents. I started fixing it before they sold it, and the purchaser freaked out, that I had it so close to done, and they were asking so little.

                              Almost bought one last year for $650. Gonna get some bills paid off, and I might look this year .
