11/05/02 Tim Thanks Guys!and as for you Atlas. Alaska is one of the 50 States but everything is shipped air freight here....Wake Up!
09/24/02 superbus Man what a score in Alaska!! Good deal for you Tim, hope to see pic's later on through the resto-process. Good luck!
09/24/02 GOD SON, WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT BEING IN MY LIKENESS. FORGIVNESS, LOVE, IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. AND LEAVE A GOOD CHRISTIAN LIKE DICK OUT OF THIS.
09/24/02 Jesus Atlas, I think we all knew what he meant. Can the (penis expletive) on your head be verified?
nice catch Tim!
09/23/02 Atlas (get one) Last time I checked Alaska was still part of the United States. But I've also heard they have some Island out in the Ocean. Can this be verified?
09/16/02 Tim yep, ecspecially since I am in Alaska and have to order everything from the states and shipping is exspensive as hell!!!
09/13/02   1500 bucks, that will be peanuts by the time you have finished
09/12/02 Tim LOL...looks like I'm standing next to something I killed on a Hunt, huh!...lol...
09/11/02 Conrad Remind me never to stand like that next to my bus. Maybe it was the ride down that gravel road rutted by logging trucks? ;-) Congrats on the excellent find!

I had this bus given to me at a show a few weeks ago.I had blown my motor right outside if the town where the show was being held and managed to creep it into the show.A gentleman came and started to talk to me and said he had a low mileage 1600 DP I could have,but I had to take the whole bus.He said it was way to rough to restore?Well if you see the pic of my 65,this bus doesn't even make me flinch!I think I will keep this one original?I just need to weld up the windows some nuckle head put in it and replace one of the rear corners.Yhis bus has NO rust at all....

A friend and I just purchased this project. Lots of bondo cracking on the outer lower pannels above the rockers. Cargo floor, jack supports and stringers must all be replaced. Neither of us have a welder to use but want to keep the costs down and do the work ourselves. Any suggestions on how to cut out the old bondo and rusted cargo floor to prep for welding? Thanks

08/30/02 Dirk Here's a trick for removing old Bondo that I picked up from a body repair tech. Use a torch and heat up the Bondo from behind, if you have access, then you can use a putty knofe and just scrape it right off. I had a bunch of old Bondo on the front of my bus, I couldn't get behind all of it, so I heated sooome up from in front, and it peeled right off. Please be careful not to set anything on fire, be aware of your suroundings, wiring and such, and keep a fire extinguisher handy.

12/07/02 Dad Gee you must have learned alot from your dad to be able to do this kind of work.
09/02/02 Carl Actually I have heard there is quite good surfing up here,They do alot in Yakutat.The water temp isnt much differant than the east coast,simular to New Hampshire.They actaully have a surf shop there!The guy who owns the bug came up here from Fla.kinda explains the surf board a little better.....
09/02/02 Carl The bug's not mine,so I guess I would prefer to drive the bus!
09/02/02 Julian Much surfing in Alaska? or is that a stupid question
09/02/02 Kral Which do prefer to drive ? The Bus or the vdub ? Must have been tuff to find parts for the bus. And this website is the BEST on the net. Almost like having religion
08/30/02 Carl (Anchorage)It was tough for a while to get parts.I ordered alot of stuff and got raped on shipping,but old VW's seem to be falling into my lap lately.
08/27/02 kral these krauters look good. where in alaska are you ? Tough to get parts ?
