NEWMANX59 I am not cursing the darkness, I re-read my post very carefully and don't see where I cursed anything or anyone. Just stated a fact. When I joined the Manx Club, I did not see anything that stated it was a requirement to post your membership number or be deleted from the club. You have mad...

I will agree with the majority of you for the most part. What I can't agree with him on is the justification of the $30.00 a year membership. Here is how I justify mine, and I'm sure there are many out there in the same boat with me. People will spend 29.95 or more on one, two or three VW books. The...

The man takes a lot of pride in his trade. I had to wait a couple days longer than anticipated for the back seat because he had to pick up another piece of leather. He said he had enough to do the job BUT, The piece he had might not be large enough to allow him to adjust it so the seams on the back ...

Thanks Guys. It looks like I need to do some research on the subject and the paint. I have the oven. I was just thinking about it when I worked at a place that painted covers for a/c units. They painted them as they came down a line and went right into the oven. A real hard finish.
