Oh no ... car-B-que

[TunedPerfection]

Ed, Steve had said he was close to having a car b que in that car, I guess you were the lucky guy who actually did! His fuel filter had split and he caught that before it got ugly, but what you had happen often goes un-noticed until it's too late. Too bad you did not give me a shout when you were at the show, I live 1 block away. I was there this morning with my daughters for a couple of hours.
Anyway, the place in Glen Williams is a good shop- Arno's is the name. Dave is the son, he does the water-cooleds, and his dad (can't think of the name) does the air cooleds. Sorry to hear of your luck. Lant was good to me when the '59 was totalled after 5 days of insurance on it, so hopefully you do okay too. Maybe you'll even come out ahead and can buy some rims.....

That sucks Ed. Good to hear you are alright.

If the damage isn't too bad, you can wire it up yourself.

My super has gone through 2 engine fires since '82. I remember them as a kid.
-One time was while we were driving(probably same issue as you).
-The other time, my mom couldn't get the bug started. When my dad got home from work, he poured some gas down the carb(done it before), and tried to start it. Looked in the rear view mirror and saw flames. Took awhile to find a neighbours garden hose as the bug was parked on the street away from the house(no driveway, downtown).

Took the fire extinguisher out of my super when the 2332 blew up. After reading this, i'm getting it back it in the bug tommorrow.

No biggie, get it together for SpringFling!
