Hello the name is Dave. I have been playing with Bugs for the last 28 years. I have built 3 Cal Looks and 1 Baja. I have been restoring a 73 181 Thing for several years now. I am finally getting somewhere with it, hope to have it driveable by summer.

I have had several interuptions. 6 Heart attacks and a very sick wife. will try to post some pics soon.

I just noticed you're in new mexico.

Hint... you can take a panel to a boarder town blacksmith.. they'll repop one in the time it takes to order a few cervezas
