Sam F?

Got any pics?

I am hoping for a FV event so I can see more setups, or FST too.

Thanks a lot for the write up.

When are the next coupe of races in the Indiana area?

Anyone have a pic handy?

Also on the battery cut off, looks like mine has a plunger kind of style. Can a modern red handle switch be put in instead?

As I wait for the rest of what I need to plate the trailer and rewire it I was curious. Other then basic insurance on the trailer what do you carry on the FV? Theft, fire, vandalism? What is your...

Provamo,

Wish it was me...that's a history photof of the car from a previous owner. No log books but I do have a few bits of history on it.

Looks like a solid project. Keep posting progress pictures.

Whew, thats going to be some work.

Nice. I would grab a vw bug manual, Iam going to snag one off ebay.

Here it is auto crossing

Local auto cross this Sunday. Hoping to take car by for a solo vee driver to look over it with me.

Also next week may take it to a local VW shop that does custom work.

Mine has the square tubing...does that indicate anything particular?

Looks like in the second set the car also has a metal floor pan? Mine looks to be just the body under the chassis so I am...

Bob,


Do you have an aluminum floor board? Also, any seat mounting points?

They do help. Thanks!

I can see at least 3-4 pieces that have been removed from mine.

What carb are guys running with the 1914cc engine? I watched some dyno runs and those engines were making around 100hp which should make the car get up and go pretty good.

Really looking for 1964 Auto Dynamics pictures so I can compare.

I have a number of baseline pictures I have been taking on my own but want to see exactly what is different.

I am looking...

Just went through your photos on my desktop. I am without a doubt missing two bars that run along where your legs run when sitting in the car. That is the indent I have up front I bet, it is where...

I have gotten advice both ways, between race it and put it back to vintage specs. Right now I am leaning this directions, solo vee and get it up and running first, then make the other changes as...

I am not sure I will be able to make the drive up on Saturday and I work Sunday. I looked up directions on maps and it is about 5 hours from here. I did run across someone local who is running a...

I am off Thursday Friday and Saturday do you by chance know the schedule? I watched one of your youtube videos and saw an AD go past. It looked like the roll bar has larger diameter pipe in the...

Whats it going to take to make it safe? Roll bar needs to be fixed? I can't justify dumping a ton into it like has been mentioned...restored what is the value? Lesson learned I guess, I could see...

Some more photos of areas being discussed.

So if I threw vintage out I would be in cmod? What about this splice job issue? I wouldnt mind having the stock setup so I could have more information base on it...like apex here. My first intent...

Lathrop,

I looked on my way out the door this morning and think I see what you mean about the splice now. I didn't know something had been removed and then that bar welded in on each side. I...

I can have the welds looked at if not too costly and you know someone good to do it. Kind of a downer right now hoping to get some good news on the car. Body needs work I planned to work on that...

I did not realize it had been modified so much. So is this thing a lost cause? Should I ebay it and try to get mymoney back out of it and just wait to buy a "kit" and build one over winter?

...

Well that is a bummer.

In the above photos there is a shot of a piece of metal...it was on the floor pan and I have no idea what it came off of.

Checked the oil and it looks brand new. Pulled the engine cover and front body panel off. What needs to be done to remove the sides so I can really hose them down to get old grease off? I did not...

I had been told 1964 as well but maybe built 1965? Could be a late last of the MK1 run?
Grabbed a jack for the trailer. Didnt have the castor in stock. Right now I have to use a jack stand on...

Looks cool

****my*****

Posted with my phone after 14 hours of driving. On my tablet now. Everyonce in a while I get on my pc and use a real keyboard.

First few I took to get started. Figuring out how to get pictures up.

Drove from Indy to PA today...lots of driving. Just got the trailer and car backed into the garage and left around 630am this morning to start. Got several looks when we stopped for food and...

Wow, that is awesome. Not only to find it but find it and a willing seller.

Congrats and good luck.

Good looking car.

Howis this for spectators,and which day or days will be the bulk of the racing?

Thanks. Makes sense. The generator is not used on mdern FV? Alternator?

Thanks

Which Falkens are you running? Most of the looking I have done shows Hoosiers?

Although I have not run wheel to wheel I can see how not having cars running twice the power on the track at the...

What makes the newer models faster? They run the same specs correct? Is it aerodynamics or is there more to it?

FV is appealing to me due to cost. Tires lasting a season, simple cars etc. I have not raced yet and probably won't wheel to wheel for a while. With that said, it seems to be the best budget...

Thats cool. I bet $$$ though.

Local too

I will check out those links. Thanks.

What tips and tricks are there to getting more power from either the 1200 or 1600 engine? Where are the deals, I have been searching but not finding a lot of engines out there. Any performance...

Yes they would for a FV. I had a set for a corvette and it was hard pushing it around...the castors were just not all that good. Even some cheapo moving dollies should work and hold the weight. ...

I have a cheapo welder and thought about putting a stand together. Getting a 4 post would let me get cars or storage underneath it...especially in the winter months. I may end up wanting both but...
