A Day in the Life of Vintage Classic Specialist, Episode 245, finished up the 61 Vert. BEAUTIFUL!
Today I finished up the fuel system on the '61 Vert. It for a new tank, new reserve valve, new fuel hoses, and a carb and fuel pump rebuild. I re-did the brakes a week or two ago. It also got new white walls. Rafa worked on the trunk of the EV making things more tidy and some other details. Jacob got the transmission almost ready to pull on the '63 ragtop.

Today I came in for a few hours, mainly to receive the ABSOLUTELY STUNNING body for the '68 Meyers Manx. The gel coat was not able to be saved, so Miguel sprayed it in Fire Red metal flake and it looks as good or better than the original gel coat. The video just can't do this thing justice, in person it is UNBELIEVABLE! I also pulled the Weber IDA carbs from the Porsche 911. I was surprised to ...

    The Convertible is so lovely. If it was mine, i would be out driving it every day! I like the EV interior very much - quite unusual, but very smart looking. Gosh! - a camber compensator! I havent seen one of those for many years! How cool!

    I‘m an ICE guy as you know, but that EV bug would be a blast to drive around town for errands and stuff. I’d drive it proudly 👍🏻 ok, so I’ll be honest, the wiring on the DC doesn’t look any diffent than it did before 😂 🤷🏼 the glove box would look good with a small chrome spear across the front with the small vw badge in the center. The red Manx is ❤ Red is my favorite color and that candy metal flake is wow. CU tomorrow! 😁👋🏻

    I’m not too sure but I don’t think that’s the correct fan shroud for a 40 horse on that 63. That indentation I think is for a later PICT 34 carb. Again, I’m not one hundred percent on that. Are you guys going to try to find the correct turquoise colored cargo/fromt mats for that 64? That should be fun.😜

      No, we hadn't discussed that. In fact, Todd wants me to try firing it up without going through the carbs lol. I'm definitely going through them first, the look terrible on the outside and probably worse on the inside.

    I heard somewhere that the front skylight window are slightly shaped different than the other three.

      I haven't heard that. This is a replacement roof though, as was the one on the red bus. I think the shape of the skylight openings is off on them. Last bus we did with an original roof they went in much easier.

    Please change those rear bumper guards for chrome ones and delete the front ones, a bit more hot rod then and a dual tip muffler,👌🏻😎

      The car came with a set of nice chrome rear guards and yes, I'll probably delete the front ones. 🙌

    Very lucky that there appears to be almost no damage to the structure despite the mangled front fender. Also - a big win to find the adjustable sway bars!

      Thanks Robert. Yes, very lucky. And I'm stoked about the adjustable bars. Also found out today it's got Turbo lower valve covers, another cool upgrade.
