The rally stop watches are from a gentleman in Germany.








Our next project is a Volks Rod

 

That car is awesome! lets see some pics of the beetle as well!

 

Promise I will, once we start that project in the next year or two

and


THANK YOU.

 

Move to Edmonton please...I'll buy the beer and we can be friends. That is great stuff!

 

Outstanding! I loved it when you first got it and it's only getting better. Alcantara (black I presume? Cream stitching?) will finish the interior nicely.

 

What an absolulte dream car! Beautiful work.
Hope you both are well.

Is there a Home Depot in Edmonton where Robert could transfer to and would you sponsor us? I've been to Edmonton once. We had an emergency landing when we were running low on fuel on a trip from London to LA during a terrible storm. It wasn't fun. Canadian officials boarded our plane and wanted to see all our passports even though we weren't getting off the plane at all...... I can say the landscaping outside the window was spectacular though.

Black MAYBE with Red stitching like the steering wheel, but I think it may just be black on black. We ordered red seat belts. Did I say that already? I'm forgetting. I'm old.


Chuck!! We are fine, how are you? Glad you like it. I think this is FINALLY the one We'll hang onto for a while when it is done. MAYBE you'll get to see it in person at Palooza if things go as we'd like them to this year.

 

We have a lot of Home Depot's....and beer.

 

I figured you'd have the BEER!!!

I remember the big orange stores on just about every corner in Toronto with a huge BEER sign plastered on front. Sort of like a Home Depot for BEER!!!

 

Lots of Home Depots in Calif. I hear they're going to be leasing out their parking lots, but I can't get through to a California real estate rep. to discuss it. Hard store to get through to.

I went to Calgary and Edmonton on one trip once. Had some awesome steak in Calgary, and there is a huge mall in Edmonton with an indoor beach and wave machine. It was fun.

 

Lots of Depot's but most of them already have Sign Capitan's on staff so that's of no help to us. We ALMOST transferred to the SLO store last Sept. and it didn't work out.

Lease out for????

NO JOKE about getting someone in Real Estate to talk to you. Robert has been trying for a year now...........





Red Seat Belts are on the way.

We are having second thoughts on replacing the seats that are in the car. The ones we have now are REALLY comfortable. They are just a little beat up from being used with 5 point harnesses before. I'm thinking MAYBE we should have them reupholstered in Alcantera.... Black with red stitching. BUT if we do that, then we are really not taking it back to '73. However, of we keep these seats then it's more of a 911 Hot Rod, just like BadMax was a 356 Outlaw......

Hmmmmm what to do......

 

SLO woulda been AWESOME. That way I could stop on by and see the ROBSLED in person.

Home Depot realized that their typical parking lots were too big, and they are supposedly subleasing them to either stand alone pads or something. I would love to talk to someone about that within HD. I am also involved in a startup outdoor sales company that would bring a ton of new foot traffic to them. Right now we are focused on fairs, then July 4th, and then the big months, Sept-Oct.

Maybe you guys can create a line of Alcantera attire, say for women (read men)? It's just so sexy when it's on a dashboard.

 

I'm obviously a fan of Fuchs, or 17" forged repros. But, the first pics show wheels that look to have the proper torsion bar 911 offsets, which supports my case that wheels with the proper "dish" work on our cars. I'm planning on a new windshield as Ruby's Christmas present (she's in the process of getting her b-day present now), and when that pops out, I think its Alcantara on the dash. and door tops.

Nice work!!

 

I sure hope you and Robert make it to Palooza this year so I can meet you both and see that car!

Thanks Ed. Vasek (what we named the car) will be jealous that Ruby is getting a new windshield. He could really use one too, but with the roads around here, it would get pitted quickly so I doubt that is high on the list. If we redo the headliner then we'd replace the windshield since the glass has to come out to do that. The headliner in the car is brand new, but it doesn't look all that great (up to MY standards lol) and I've been bugging Robert that I want that redone too.
Do you think I'll get what I want? Probably NOT.
