    Getting the ‘57 beetle back on the road in 2024

    Glad to see it where it belongs instead on the shelf in my basement!

    Part identity help !

    If I was to try installing one of those I would try to get some dry ice or better yet liquid nitrogen. For liquid nitrogen I'd check with places that supply welding gases. They may know of a customer who regularly uses it and might be able to help you. Another place would be machine shops as...

    rear suspension bolt, help.

    How about just taking the other one out the lock strap is on and go to the hardware store and match it up? Might also want to check the others while you're at it. If some one left one out or loose I would not trust the others!

    rear suspension bolt, help.

    I can't see it in the video, but is the rubber bushing bad in the shock letting the hole for the bolt not be centered? Not sure if you can push them out and rotate it so the hole is aligned better. Also I hope you are aware that one of the bolts is missing out of the rear sprocket!

    Painting Tins. No really...

    I have a Dell Inspiron 531 I got second hand from the guy I took a computer to to have fixed. He said something major, maybe mother board was the problem. Have no idea the age of this machine wonder if there is a way to find out? All I know is Microsoft says it can not support anything past...

    The car parked next to me at the grocery store today. 😲

    Maybe he just wanted to be sure he got the bread home while it was still fresh!

    Itchy Boots Fan Boi's (Spoilers Ahead)

    This reminded me of an older lady who lived in what might be considered a slum-lords apartment in the small city near where I grew up. There were four or five apartments in this building with small "front yards" actually mostly gravel and a few weeds, probably 10 by 20 feet in size. Her "yard"...

    If I recall correctly in his short racing career he did finish 2nd a couple times.

    Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

    Every time I see that or other crazy build I have to wonder what could have been built with the skills and money put into that that might be close to practical! Like maybe scale it back to a V-6 or 8?

    Just out of curiosity - Airplane Guys

    I think if I was the wingman I might have just said, "Take it easy on the ride home. I'll keep an eye out for anything getting real bad!"

    Solar Eclipse

    Not much to be seen here in Central NY. Could not even tell where the sun was in the sky before it started. So all we got was a change from heavy over cast to almost dark and back to heavy over cast. Maybe better next time, if I'm alive for that when ever it will be here again! I did get the...

    Just out of curiosity - Airplane Guys

    I just wonder if the pilot had any idea of the damage before he landed and got out? I'm sure he knew about the left wing but what about the damage to the rear of plane?

    Getting the ‘57 beetle back on the road in 2024

    That is a good question! I find it questionable that any random group of three bolts if all tightened to the same torque they would end up in a nice neat alignment like those.

    Getting the ‘57 beetle back on the road in 2024

    Got a question about the wiring of bolts that I'm not sure anyone has answered before or I missed it. What is the main reason for doing this? What I'm asking is the wires main function to keep bolts tight or to act as a visual indication one is backing out? I recall many moons ago when I first...

    Wanted - Looking for Rear Battery Strap Securing Bracket for Early Bike

    Right at this point I'm not even sure which hook you are asking about . I'm looking at the battery box/tool pouch holder that has been off the bike for several years. What I have in my hands appears to have three hooks spot welded on in various places. If there are two separate rubber straps...

    The conspiracy theory of everything.

    Or like my brother who worked for, some agency that will go unmentioned, while in the Air Force would say, " I could tell you but then I would have to kill you!"

    Well bugger me...

    I know nothing about 3D printing but could the glass plate have a tiny bit of contamination on it? Maybe a light scuffing with 600 grit paper do some thing or even a shot with a glass bead machine?
