DC 75,that's a sharp autocar,is that grille guard a factory option? My cousin had an Astro similar to the one in the picture.

That's a stock Autocar grill guard. Seems like all of them in New England had one.

I LIKE IT 

A LOT!

yeah, need more room for a Yeuingling sign

Don's A-car looks so much better in that photo than these. Some idiot came up an exit ramp never looked and ran him into the median and skateboarded up the guardrail. Serious pucker factor there.

If you are going to Somerset, you'll be going right by me

If the BAR sign goes missing...  It would look great in your man cave!

Love to have that one.  Pretty tight on wall space as it is though. 

5th or 6th day hanging signs for the movie set.  Amazing the work that goes into a few minutes on screen. My buddy in the orange shirt and sunglasses is Kevin All's nephew.

Very nice  Rich.  I assumed you would be cranking on the B but I would say "smart move" .  That the original VW orange?  the before shot looks every bit as good as you had described.

Had to use Porsche orange, closest match to original color which ain't available any more.

It was her b-day present so I wanted to get it done quick.

Well shame on me Rich-I finally discovered this thread-and looked at it from beginning-  Outstanding job-you have been hiding your light under a bushel basket!  And some of you asked early on if  "66DC75" was going to be at the photo shoot at Macungie-he was-go to shot and two guys in lime shirts on left side of  Mack (above "Big Mack" letters are Rich aka 66DC75 on left and shorter uglier guy to right is yours truly.

Great job Rich-keep the updates coming-for sure will be at Lancaster on 10/16!

Thanks Bob, now that I finished my wife's VW I'm going to start cranking on the truck project again.

Before and after beetle photos.

thanks guys

The acorn nuts and adapters I can do but $400 plus for arms and blades is a killer.

Can't miss that one I'm on the board of directors for the chapter. (Actually was talked into being president fro a couple of years when we were with ATHS Bill Semple is much better at it though,
now I just make the signs and park trucks).

Made some slight progress, got the windshield wiper motor mounted and linked up, not perfect sweep but it works. Mounted a 12 volt computer fan to the defroster vent as there is no provisions for a defroster on the heat/ac unit moves air pretty good for it's size. Looking for wipers arms, the wedge shaped spacers, shaft nuts etc. for the wiper shafts. I've looked everywhere for mine but they seem to have disappeared.

I usually go with the guys in the photo but couldn't make it today, bit of a bummer

Jim, was that today at the airfield? I see Paul Silvia leaning on the back tire

Are you selling parts off the cab or the whole cab at once? Looking for windshield wiper arms, the wedge shaped spacers and the nuts for the wiper arm posts. Basically everything outside the cowl.

excellent thanks for sharing    used to drive there every night worked for nissens bakery in the 70.s...bob

I used to live on Foster St about 6 houses from the bakery.

Rocky Marciano grew up next street over behind Nissens and Marvin Hagler's mother lives 3 house from

the bakery. Boxing neighborhood.

Sign company I used to work for had one with an aerial ladder on it. More than one time when it gave them some trouble on the road, you raised the ladder out of the way, tilted the cab, fixed what was wrong , dropped the cab, hopped in and drove away                    with the ladder in air.

Mostly just a couple of phone lines taken out.

Brockton 20 miles south of Boston

Going to start putting them up Thursday. Gonna take pictures.
