Re: This is gonna look BADASS...
Cool.
I was just giving you a heads up. I would be thinking on a flap with a
manual choke cable open and closed for it.
I like your Bug shots and remember you are the dude with the horse shoes
up his butt... ;-) LOL!
I had a 68 1500 3 speed semi automatic Bug that 'really' got me into off
roading! Man the places that silly thing would go and got me into....
And the electric clutch switch in the gear shift. That was a funny
thing, I could rev it up and take my hand off the gear shift and it
would just smoke out the G78-15's I has on the back.
I got stuck once on the mud flats in the Minas Basin on the east coast
with the highest tides in the world. I was almost 3 miles out and we
had to hike to shore to get shovels to get us out.

hahaha! Yeah...right. :-)
I had trouble enough explaining to my wife about why I needed the
Holly Truck Avenger 4bbl to replace the factory 2bbl and why I needed
the Edelbrock intake to match it because my cast iron 2bbl intake got
burned up by the fire... (you know how those chunks of cast-iron get
burned up so badly that they're no longer usable in about 2 minutes)
And I still have to explain the DUI distributor/coil ignition I'm
about to buy. Oh gosh, this stuff is expensive! But... fun. :-)

Oh yeah, and today when the fedex truck dropped off the hood scoop...
That was a classic.
her- "What's that?"
me- "That's a Jeep part."
her- "What does it do?"
me- "It covers the burned spots on the hood. I'm going to cut them
out and put the scoop over it."
her- "Why not sand the hood and repaint it? You already painted it
once."
me-"*chuckle* Honey! With the Truck Avenger carb I'll need more
fresh air for it to run right!"
her-"Why was it again you needed that carb instead of a rebuilt
factory carb?"
me- "Is that dinner I smell burning?"
her- "Oh no! Let me check!" *runs out of garage*
Oh... I'm so bad. ;-)

Oh yeah, and today when the fedex truck dropped off the hood scoop...
That was a classic.
her- "What's that?"
me- "That's a Jeep part."
her- "What does it do?"
me- "It covers the burned spots on the hood. I'm going to cut them
out and put the scoop over it."
her- "Why not sand the hood and repaint it? You already painted it
once."
me-"*chuckle* Honey! With the Truck Avenger carb I'll need more
fresh air for it to run right!"
her-"Why was it again you needed that carb instead of a rebuilt
factory carb?"
me- "Is that dinner I smell burning?"
her- "Oh no! Let me check!" *runs out of garage*
Oh... I'm so bad. ;-)

Yeah, they call those things auto-sticks. Freaky. Never had one.
Had 3 bugs and one bus, but never an auto-stick. I was running 31"
truck tires on my baja with a 1200 cc stock motor. I'll bet I can
slip a clutch better than any of y'all. ;-) Can you imagine...? No
fancy gearing to get the RPMs up, it was all clutch slippage to get
that 40 hp 1.2 liter engine to spin those 31" tires right up the hill.
WHOO HOO! The smell of a burning clutch can be like a learned thing.
Smell of burning clutch = I'm having fun offroading right now! ;-)

If I ever add another baja to my offroad vehicle collection then you'd
better believe it'll have a good electric winch permanently mounted to
the front bumper. That's one thing I don't miss at all about my old
baja. The not having a winch worth a crap part. :-) Again, thanks
for the advice. See you on the trails someday.
