Re: Brandon's 71 Westy
Surely someone has a set of tires and rims you could borrow and drive it to Kelleys.

Congrats Brandon, not bad of a score at all! The gray stripe of paint kind of reminds me of a Transformer for some reason.
One of the past owner's of my 71 replaced some of the metric metal lines with SAE ones lacking the VW double flare. By some miracle they did fit and don't leak as far as I can tell. You're in good hands with Josh and Sean.

You may want to take a close look at your fuse/relay panel,as that hole below the windshield is directly over it.

He's in good hands with Josh, but the jury is out on Sean!
Well, he rolled it by my place tonight. He said he hadn't taken it on the freeway to see if it could go 50. I said "Let's go!"
He finds it sluggish. I said "Try driving a fully loaded split case 36HP"
We got it out on the freeway and had it up to 55 no problem. I told him drive it to Kelleys. Just go with Josh!
He was stalling at the lights, so I threw the tach dwell on it and he had it set at about 600 rpm's. Cranked it up to 850 and it seems to be fine. I couldn't get any reaction out of the air flow screw on the side of the carb, but I'll leave that to Josh. Those 34's are out of my league. I think Brandon's been messing with it Josh
so don't yell at me!
I left it where he had it set.
Dawn took one look at and started laughing. She said: "Nice curtains Brandon"
I think she's getting him a disco ball for X-Mass. Brandon needs a new avatar and after seeing this thing up close I'm recommending this.

Here's the man rolling home getting ready for tomorrow! That disco bus is like "dance fever"!!!

New treads just showed up via FedEx. Just dropped the bus off at a local garage to have them put on. The Disco Bus IS going to Kelleys Island.

Re: Brandon's 71 Westy
Yes! Almost as good as seeing the DC and matching trailer there. A swell showing of new toys this year!
