Re: Let's talk about cars

Thanks. It’s been a fun project. Was lucky to find a good donor car that didn’t have a lot of rust.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I decided to bolt much of the frame together only welding the lower main structural frame. I can build the rear body before I cut the tunnel. It’s going a lot faster than expected and the cost of the...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Thanks. Will post my progress. The plan is to build my own design open frame body similar to photo. The red car builder cut down the VW tunnel by 22 inches and rewelded it back together. By keeping...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Just started a car project turning a VW Beetle into a buggy similar to the one in the photo. It’s shortened 22 inches from standard wheel base. I found a donor car in Dalton Georgia with little rust....

Re: Let's talk about cars

Nice looking car. I am trying to talk my wife into buying a Chevy Bolt. Electric is perfect for the driving she does. At most two round trips to down maybe 50 miles total.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Tennessee which normally charges $26 to license our cars (no wheel tax counties) has reduced the fee to $5.25 for one year starting 1 July 2022. Not sure the reason but something to do with better...

Re: Let's talk about cars

For little used cars the best thing to do is buy a battery tender which is a very low power trickle charger. They are supposed to greatly increase battery life plus it’s always fully charged. I have...

Nice truck. Good color. The front bumper will be good protection on Atlanta freeways.

Unless the price difference is too great I would go with Garmin. Garmin has became the standard for use in aircraft.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I had heard stories of auto fuel shelf life and have seen a couple of carburetors gunked up but had no real basis for this belief. I just googled this subject and found a article by JD Power that...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Was wondering what happens to the gas left in vehicle for long periods. Not as big of an issue with fuel injected but it gums up carburetors and can’t be good for other parts of fuel system over long...

Re: Let's talk about cars

It will be a long time before the working truck guy would want a EV truck. But for many others it would be easy to install a charging receptacle at your house and just charge overnight everyday. Few...

He didn’t trade it in. He just took it back to dealer after test failed yelling and screaming about why it failed. To shut him up they bought it back on the spot for cash. He has since bought a Ford....

Re: Let's talk about cars

I missed a very good deal recently. My cousin in Nashville bought a BMW suv type car new in 2017 and only put 9000 miles on it. It failed the Nashville emissions test this year and he sold it back to...

Re: Let's talk about cars
