Beside my bII project I do bicycle repair, my wife has this thing with Volkswagens, she owns 4 of them, I love to wrench on anything.I always say it doesn't matter the symbol on the grille all manufactures carry parts because they all break down. I seen a tatoo once that said "If it's got tits or tires it's gonna cost ya money.So I know some of you do more than just bronco stuff. So what else are you working on, share with us!

I have a 1966 Ford F100 that I inherited from my Dad that I mess with trying to keep it in the great shape my Dad had it in.

I am also learning to play around with mountain style bicycles. I have an old GT ZAKAR I got from a friend. I have the rear derailer zip tied, I can only use the front small gear and about 3-4 gears on the rear. I have some work to do.

I also have a Losi mini lst 1/18th scale electric monster truck. I need to rebuild both differentials on it to get it running again.

Always busy even with my wife and 9 y.o. daughter's schedule.

Well besides the B2, I have a 94 Landcruiser that is constantly being worked on to keep running well. I also have a house and wife and 3 kids. Im either with the family or working lately with not much time for anything else...

before i moved from texas i had a 65 ford falcon that i put a 71 lincoln 460 in. i was dieing to road test it but still needed to finish the full subframe. so i boxed up the tires and ran the hell out of it, well needless to say i twisted the body like a pretzle. that was the end of that toy, so i threw the engine in a 90 full size bronco, it was awsome untill i rolled it down a hill and was stopped by a tree. remember ladies and gentlemen keep your hands and arms in the vehicle !!!! got lucky and only wound up with a cuncusion, few stitches, and another f-d up toy. after i moved from texas i gave up on any toys for awhile. now im putting together an abortion of a rig. i will post updated pics soon.

vw's are cool, hell you can lift the engine out by yourself without a cherry picker, can't get any better than that !

im surprised that you can find a vw up that far with a floor still in it

Besides the B2 Bomber I am building a 23 Ford TCoupe. Built 351 with a purpose built FMX trans and a ford 9 for the rear. I should have it complete by next summer in time for some cruzin!

I am always into something as it seems I have no spare time at all anymore.

It's rumored I am a cranky old Man...

Don't believe everything ya hear!

tek, i saw pictures of your shop, and um im not one to call someone a liar,,, but a b2????? maybe a little over the top.

and i have no idea who told you were a grumpy old bast to your face, i thought we were only doing that on private messages behind your back

clem, super nice job on the bug. im not a bug fan but i really appreciate quality work and from what i can see you did a sweet job. i guess those long winters leave you with allot of time to stay in a warm shop. hey but super job.

Oh Oh Oh I mean the BII not the Airplane, and it is really just a bomb around rig. I can't help it if it has a Blower and all that stuff, it really is gonna fly!!

Clem I have the mtn bike working again.

It is a 1994 Gt, oldie but a goodie.

That's F-N cool Mr D, I love those old GT's, I got a Norco "rage" full suspension An old Maxam "warp drive" that I lighten up and out on road tires. I started my own business doing bike repair about 4 years ago I just do it on weekends and evenings, but it's cutting into my truck/van building time.

Good job on the v-dubs, I always have loved working and driving those things.(no pun intended) lol. I just sold my 87 supra and 65 willys cj-5, so I used to wrench on those alot, now I wrench on my wifes grandprix. If I am not doing school work or with the family, I am always doing stuff with my compound bow, r/c plane, fishing stuff, and survival stuff.

I have a 58 bug that I use to pull a Polaris PWC that has 3 times as much horsepower as the bug.
