UP THE HILL BEHIND THE PIZZA PLACE BEHIND THE GAS STATION ON THE CORNER OF ALTA SIERRA DR AND 49.

WE ARE KINDA HIDDEN UNFORUNATELY SO YOU COULD MISS US. LOL

NAVIGATION.......SEARCH JOHNSON PL, GRASS VALLEY CA 95949 AND YOU SHOULD FIND US NO PROBLEM CUZ REALLY WE ARE ON JOHNSON PLACE. THE MAIL BOX IS ON 49 (THE REASON FOR THE WEIRD ADDRESS).

I'll see what I can do to get up there and help you with the glass Cliff. Sorry for my absence but things have been crazy busy for me lately.

No problem. Sandy said she was flexible on timing but sooner the better. Just dont wanna break the windshield installing it. Your guidance would be awesome!!!

I NEED TO HARD WIRE OR COME UP WITH $15 EXTRA FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH CENTER PEICE THAT WENT OUT ON MY 72 YET AGAIN FORTH OR FIFTH IN 4 YEARS THEN I COULD PARK THE BAJA RAT JUST OFF THE FREEWAY AT OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN NOT RAINING AS A SIGNAL FLARE

Warming our hands around a flaming VW while we watch Dann install glass. That sounds fun! I'll be there!

Looking forward to tech day this Sat. Finally I will stop the leaking of my back window and put in a new windshield so I can really see where I am going. Hope to see everyone there, just come on by and say Hi and hang for awhile.

WE ARE UP AND GOIN!!! RIGHT NOW WE GOT TOM, SANDY, ERIC, LARRY AND MYSELF SO FAR. WE GOT THE GLASS OUT AND OLD SEALS OUT ALREADY. DOING SOME CLEANING AND PREP WORK NOW. COME ON BY AND SEE THE HAPPENINGS!!!

JUST COMPLETED INSTALLATION OF BOTH REAR AND FRONT WIND SCREENS!!!!! MAYBE IT WAS THE LUBE MAYBE IT WAS THE COMBINATION OF 4-5 OF US WORKING TOGETHER BUT BOTH GLASSES WENT IN NICE AND SMOOTH WITHOUT ISSUE!!!! MUCH MUCH MUCH EASIER THEN ANTICIPATED!!!

Cool beans!

I am/was trying to get down there but I keep having to hunt for part to get May's rear end back together. I think she won't be back together until tomorrow...

You're right Cliff. That glass went in really nice!
We missed you Matt. Maybe next month?

Thanks to Cliff, Eric, Tom, Larry for the successful install of new windshield and a new seal around the rear window. Now it won't leak anymore around the windows. All went pretty easily.

As for next months Tech Day, I just bought a 67' bug front beam for use in the 6-person pedal vehicle. I'll be needing to go through it to make it useable in a dusty environment. Since the beam is out of the car, it would be a good opportunity for seeing all the bits and pieces that are part of a front end without the rest of the bug in the way! I haven't replaced parts on a beam before, so assistance (and the proper tools) will be greatly appreciated.

I do need recommendations for cheap parts sources. I'll probably need all of the soft parts. If you happen to have used serviceable parts, drop me a message. This vehicle will never see even 5mph, so used is good for this.

I usually buy from http://www2.cip1.com/ . Good prices, and if you spend over $100 the shipping is free.
At one time, Jill had us set up with a 10% club discount from Chircos, but I can't seem to find the link any more. Does anyone know if that is still available?
