Thanks for posting that Nelson, seems like he put some different pedals in, good idea if you can find the right set, but I'm going with the pedal set that you mailed. I see the owners also widened the fenders, or maybe they were standard on the Veeps,, they are wider than standard MB ones, mine neve...

[QUOTE="CairoManx;15338"]Okay Mel, now you need to find a set of original Johnny Johnson RGB adapters.[/QUOTE] Nelson, I did look into this and even picked up an RGB trans, but it worked out that the track would be too wide on the rear, even the later wider swing axle shafts were too wide ...

Well, it seems to me they need a new leader then, someone who can get the place back on track. I bet the tourist trade and general economy is really suffering as a result of those problems. Back in 98, a guy that I had kept in touch with from Torrance on my 97 trip, wrote and told me about bandits t...

Sorry guys, it don't seem to be working, and I'm not a lot of good on these things,, maybe Dave will come to my rescue here!!

Not sure if any of you guys saw this TV doc, it was on UK TV a while back, a real good documentary if you ever get the chance to see the whole thing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7909034.stm

[QUOTE="theManiac;15329"]Hey Mel, I spoke with one of the guys that I helped build a Hadley VEEP. He used it off & on over the years, then parked it one day & never used it again. The engine & transaxle were pulled & used in a sandrail. The hood, windshield & convertibl...

Well, I've just been shopping around for the best Baja insurance deal, and the best I can find right now is http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/large ... 849&cat=13 only problem could be crossing the border, so it may need a little camouflaging!

Wow, the last two posts have really turned my dream of one day going back to Baja into a nightmare. After what I've just read and knowing how relaxed it seems crossing into Baja, I reckon the best insurance to have would be something like the ''Smith & Wesson Insurance'',, this insurance could t...

I love those old snap shots, Thanks Dave. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say around 1968!!. I wonder what the ol fella did wrong to get a ticket, does anyone know?

[QUOTE="Manx#102;15312"]We were very lucky to have been able to enjoy it all back in the day. [/QUOTE] Hey Randy, that must be the only good thing about getting older,, as times change with more rules & regs to comply with, you can still look back to Pismo pre 82.. Great Pismo pics &am...

[QUOTE="Towd Dude;15307"][FONT=Comic Sans MS] [FONT=Comic Sans MS] [FONT=Comic Sans MS] Mel, Thanks for the youtube video. Who says we don't have "Rhythm"... Very nice to see young folks embellish a style that was popular 80 years ago and keep it clean. Lately I?ve seen young wom...

Thanks Dave, looks like that could be raising more that just spindles! :) I did a few 40's weekends back in the summer and love the atmosphere it sure seems to be getting popular now, not seen that mag yet, but just got my latest 2010 catalogue through from Jeep Promotions Ltd, and they've devoted a...

Randy, I was looking and dreaming the other day > http://www.totalescape.com/lodge/ADS/mikes.html the road to Mikes never seemed that bad back in 98, 'Gus The Bus' made it no problem, but like they say ''It Changes every Year''.

[QUOTE="Manxdavid;15291"]You told me at the time it was Llewellyn-Ryland tangerine I think. [/QUOTE] They do two color charts Dave, its a little confusing, but if its from the Standard Range LR chart, which is listed as Tangerine then the code will be > 3957. If its from their bigger chart...

Dave, if we could find out what the original pigment color code was,(I've forgot) that same pigment could be mixed with Duratec clear gloss coat and it would look the same as the gel coat and just as tough. In fact it is more like a thinned down gel, but used for coating plugs, so it uses the same p...
