welly welly welly...I am going to be starting my chop soon. Agian. Hopefully nothing goes wrong this time. Since this is my first one i have decided to go with a slant chop with the pie cut in the c pillar and not all te way through it. Im doing this because i think it will be easier for me to do. On my next bug i can try a different kind but for this one im doing the rake one. Also i found a nice surprise the hole were the PO put the antana is nasty. A huge hole not grinded smooth or aything that was covered in bondo. Lucky i saw it it was starting to rust alot. So i need to clean that up and weld a patch in there. Im going to mxico on a cruise on the 4th so My chop will probably get started when i get back. Preping is going on now.(planning and cutting braces and measuring all that stuff.)

If not i cant work on it till next weekedn beacuse of a cruise im going on for a week. I like the way it looks alot and i cant wait till its all done. Here are some pics.

hey, i just got home from my cruise to mexico it was awsome. I came home with some brass knuckles and a switchblade too so that made me happy. And some fire works. Man that places is awsome free tequila everywhere and man did i take advantage of that. Heres me at one of the bars and then heres some striping i did before i left.

this isnt the tequila but it'll git r' done

i shaved my door handles...well sorta i did the passenger side beacuse the handle was on the door still of the dirvers side and the door was welded shut. i still need to get the extra roof for my chop. this weekend hopefully. I really wanna get it at leasted tacked down soon. Im trying to think up some ideas for how i want my interir. Im thinking of ditching the 'glass dash and welding in a paeice of metal across. That is a most likely possibility for the future.Also i dont tinhk im goignt to make that sword shifter im looking for something so totaly crazy that no one would think of it.

cdubvdub · October 15th, 2004, 04:49 PM

cdubvdub · October 16th, 2004, 11:58 AM

cdubvdub · October 30th, 2004, 03:44 PM

well my uncles firend races vw's and my uncle told me he has the fastest vw time but i dont know what class and that he said it was a ratty looking one and can do wheelies i guess. but anyways i might be getting a motor from them [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Dancing.gif[/img] but i dont know yet. Im crossing my fingers

cdubvdub · November 4th, 2004, 06:18 PM

well... I do have some good news. I will have a motor soon(within the next month) Its gonig to be a longblock. When i get it im going to swap out the heads on it with the 040's the ratrodvw gave me and build it all up and make it ready to put in my car. Im real exited about about getting it going. Also i will most likley be getting my extra roof this weekend if everything works out so my chop will be done in not too long also [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Dancing.gif[/img]

cdubvdub · November 12th, 2004, 09:08 PM

well my comp was down for a while so now that im cought up on the topics i can post som progress. Im going pretty good on my chop still and still have alot to do but its coming along. I got my shifter in the i got from anticpunk but i had to modify it a little bit. Its 27" tall. I like it alot. I also have my beam unbolted and my front apron taken off and am going to start building my beam extention as soon as i can. Ill post some pics up tomarrow its to late right now.

cdubvdub · November 13th, 2004, 09:58 AM

alright ive kinda re made the plans for my roof. The top is almost completly off and im re working it to fit back on but i am really digging the convert style that it is right now. I am kind of leaning twords a roadster now but i still havnt made up my mind. so im going to be thinking about it...

cdubvdub · November 17th, 2004, 06:20 PM

need to shape my rear...

cdubvdub · November 25th, 2004, 06:44 PM

I have my b pillars gone so its all good and smooth going down the side. The back where the c pillar was has the basic shape forming. I also found a cool way to mount my plaqe(sp?) I will have some pictures probably tomarrow. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif[/img]

cdubvdub · December 12th, 2004, 05:13 PM

yah, i got alot done today. i got my drivers door almost done. All the area where the window comes out is all welded shut and nice and smooth now. I like it alot. And i also started to shave the vents below the back window. All it needs it to have te metal welded into it now its all ready for it. I stopped becasue cutting all that steel with pussy ass tin snips tires out my arms so im going to finish tomarrow and then also do my passenger door. Pics to come tommarow.

cdubvdub · December 13th, 2004, 03:58 PM

alright i got half of the vents behind the window welded up i have to do the other side tomarrow and i am starting on the passenger door. Im liking it its turing out pretty cool. I still ned to figure out what im doing for right behind the 1/4 window. what i have right now looks ugly so im thinking. Ill post the pics of it when im all finished.

cdubvdub · December 18th, 2004, 04:56 PM

well i need to get rid of my merc so i can invest in a daily driver. Im trying to trade two guys right now but i havnt heard from them yet. Theyre both real close. ones like 5 min away

and this one

so i hope i can get some luck from them. if not i hope to get something soon. I will be getting my permit in a few weeks. btw heres me and my girlfirend last night...

cdubvdub · December 31st, 2004, 02:39 PM

hey whats up i've been welding alot of stuff up latley and finally something is done heres my gas door area now all smooth. It went in real good and doesnt really need any filler except to smooth it out a little.

cdubvdub · January 17th, 2005, 09:00 PM

well i was going through some old pictures and this is my bug right after i got it. I for some reason bought soem rattle can primer and primered the top part and took off a couple fenders [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/funny.gif[/img] but its come a long ways since then and ive learned a ton. Im pretty happy with what im getting out of it.

cdubvdub · January 20th, 2005, 08:39 PM

alirght well i wont post any pics of my new bug up right now youve seent hem already. So right now im trying to figure out where to put my plaqe on it. I dont really know if that car would be considered a volksrod but oh well.I will have some new door silenoids soon so i can actually open the doors without using the inside handle. also i am thinking of taking out the carpet and what not to por 15 the pan because thaeres alot of surface rust and i want to prevent any future rusting. Just thinking ahead to save some headache. well thats it for now....

cdubvdub · February 13th, 2005, 06:15 PM

got the body and pan seperated today man it took me a while to figure out how to get it off doing it by my self bu now its done and i will work on my beam extention i dont know what im going to do yet most likely extend the frame head.My door will be welded shut soon and i also want to channel it about 5 inches but im not positive on doing that yet.I also stripped the car of all the wiring and then took out the steering collum. I've donme more but i cant remmber right now so that it. for now....

cdubvdub · February 20th, 2005, 12:07 PM

well i have started to make my beam extention but i've messed up on it two times so the third times a charm and i will strt on that today probably so hopefully i can get it done and mounted up today.
