bugdust...

This forum is categorized a little different than most so I'm not sure where to post project pics or introductions. I thre a few pics of my son's 64 in the Tech section? and I guess I'll introduce myself here...name's Charlie.

I'm in Middleburg, FL (near Jax). I've owned a bug or sixty over the years. I have a 62 bug vert "project" that I may work on someday. Right now I'm working on a 64 for my 15 yr old son. I have shallow pockets so it will take some time to finish.

I do industrial 3D design work for a living. Nothing fancy, mostly shop fixtures to help build actual products (heavy equipment attachments). The engineers design a product...I figure out how to build it (fixture design, process development & validation, standard work procedures (how-to books), quality checks and employee training). I was a welder for about 14 years before that.

Welcome I checked out your pics, lookin good.

welcome.

Welcome x2

Welcome... You say you were putting a 1600 in it ..... next thing you'll be painting it Brown....

Yeah, it's for my soon-to-be 16 yr old. A 1600 will be plenty. Besides, I have a 40-horse in my 62 vert.

:(

Welcome bug dust.........

1600's suck.

Welcome to the South's most "Elite" resto custom club's website.

Yeah, I'm not planning on building anything worthy of the BKC, just a decent driver for my kid. After it is on the road I will figure out if I'm going to build the 62 vert for myself or not. I think I'd rather have a 58-59 euro ragtop. I just need to find someone with one that wants to trade for a vert.
