Parts for the B310 are (fairly) easy to find, and the A-series engine can take a lot of abuse and neglect before giving out. The sheetmetal is the Achilles’ heel in these cars, and the metal on this wagon still looks fantastic. They’re dirt-simple to work on. I’m confident a teardown/rebuild with fresh rings, some oil…

I was just talking with my girlfriend about this, how little George Sr. plays into the show. In theory, he could’ve been in the very first episode as he died, and the rest of the show would’ve been Michael trying to save the company while the rest of them tried to pick the Bluth Co. carcass clean while discovering the…

Speaking of Beetle space utilization, there’s a company, J’m not sure if J’m allowed to post jts name here, but they make cool leather straps to hold the frunklid down, and leather straps to hold the spare jn place... giving you these clues so you can find jt yourself... anyway. They announced they’re remaking the…

Regarding the AC/power issue, have you looked into a swamp cooler? Not necessarily the big missile-launcher looking things that hang off the window as an accessory on a lot of old Bugs, but one that can plug into the cigarette lighter, and maybe belt into a backseat?

So what’s your minimum measure of safety in a daily for children that you will personally allow before you start putting horrible mental images into parent’s heads, as well as the implied shame for transporting children in anything less? My parents drove me around as a baby in their Beetle. As their daily driver.…

Everyone should have an F-150. But then what about those in F-250s?! They’ll kill us all! Or, God forbid, what if an F-150 was clobbered by an F-350?! Nobody would survive!

Good call. Hadn’t even thought of that. :)

Dumb question: Could it be an oil radiator? At first, I wondered if maybe it held oil, both for the engine, as well as that massive headlamp. Then realized motor oil and lamp oil are very different... so maybe part of the tank is oil for the lamp(?) and the majority of it is oil for the engine?

That looks to be a 81-87 GM G-body. Probably a later Monte Carlo LS, based on the font/design of the gauges, but not the full gauge package like you’d get in an SS. Note the blank plate on the right hand side across from the speedo. I’d bet this has an SS nose on it, however. So I’d imagine it’s got power steering.…

I get that reference. :)

If that Mustang is a 5 liter, could this then be considered an episode of Hawaii 5.0?

I think we’ve all been there as young men, suffering from nocturnal emissions.

Thank you! I genuinely appreciate it. And if you happen to have a spare Type 4 engine just kinda lying around, I might be interested... :)

Thank you! I’d considered using it for SCCA events, but instead I’ve got a Datsun 210 I’m building for that.

I apologize if this is neither the time or the place, but hopefully there’s some fellow air-cooled VW forgiveness on your part toward my asking this question. I’m trying to build a road-going ‘69 Beetle sedan with some sort of bracing here and there to give me a larger margin of safety. Some of my thoughts are the…

Not sure, Dr. Funke. I can’t remember seeing it in your bestselling novel “The Man Inside Me.”

Aw, thank you. I’ll never make it but I appreciate that. :)

Though, in the case of these three, might it be a case of, “if you build them, they will come?” To the dealerships, of course. Not what happened way too early for me on prom night... though there may be plenty of that if these went into production, as well. ;)
