I drove 4 cars to that show, what a pain in the ass! That same show my 412 was beat by a Type 3 notch and a Type 3 Fasty, that wont happen at my club's show this year, we have a seperate Type 4 catagory!

I have the same problem here. It is very difficult for a Type-4 to beat a Type-3 due to availability of parts alone.

Thanks,

Don't worry. By the end of this year....I hope that between grop interior buys, making some parts...and a little diligence on our part....we will start having some type 3 beatings. My car will not show up to a show until it is pristine. At that point...since I'm a printer......and I have thought about tehse for all of us.....I was thinking of printing a nice fold-up plexiglass sign board with a graphic schematic representation of the car from 3 angles, all the factory specs, all the mods,all the extras...just to look soooooper. Then when they try to register me in the type 3 class....I will tell them to create a seprate category for type 4's...or stuff it. Ray

I have to make room for a 60 ragtop Beetle I am looking at and the wife said one of the cars has to go, so since I have 2 12's, I can part with the 4 door. BUT only to the right person.

Id kill for a notch!! As a matter of fact Uber, one of the guys in the local club is selling a pretty nice notch. My Kids want a Beetle, thats all they talk about, "Daddy why you got no Beetle?" So I am giving in to them, they really want one.

I know where some Notches were relatively close by, I think they are still there. 8)

Finally gave in to the dark side of the force, eh DB? Now you'll get to swap pans with the rest of the horse-and-buggy crowd :P .

Well, it's enough of a PITA for me just getting ONE 412 running, the Base Commander would really go offscale high if I added another 412 right now :cry: .

it runs damn well.

I really hate to get rid of it, but, the 72 camper is down for a resto, the 2 door is unique, and still has some bugs in it (excuse the pun), I put way to much money in the 79 Bus to get my money back (plus it runs just to damn good to get rid of! But I probably will when the 72 is done.) So that leaves the 4 door as Mr expendable. I have not had to put much money into it and it would be the easiest to get rid of. :cry: If pne of you guys dont buy it off of me (or the couple of guys in the local club I trust) then I am probably going to wind up with 8 cars in my driveway (the boss woman wont be happy)

She wouldnt mind it so much If we had some land, but I live in a semi nice subdivision and it does sorta look like I am running a shop out of my basement.
