Re: 1963 Single Cab - A.K.A. Sanford

Very cool! Single Cabs are a lot of fun! Get ready for the #1 question..."Did you make that or did it come that way?" It is also important for your VW's to have names and friends. Just ask Lil'Tud, Big Tud, Pickle and the Black Pearl!

Re: 68 Double Cab

You would think if someone went to the trouble of putting a Franklin’s Werks beam on and a rebuilt steering box they would replace the coupler. Wrong. Probably thought they would put new cotter pins in and not leave the old ones cut off in the bolts with nothing to hold the castellated nuts on too.....

Put in a new fuse block. Still need to organize the wires better.

Re: 68 Double Cab

Since I had to pull the column apart I thought I would do some cleaning of the dash and sort some of the dangling wires. It was pretty funky. 894B2D6E-8CE8-4796-A216-1BDAC8AA0B0E.jpeg B346544F-6FA1-4D54-B954-F5BB27C44594.jpeg 9C0B8E2A-4422-41F1-811F-3452529D09E9.jpeg 93695B42-1259-4703-8AEE-3B5DD9F5...

Re: 68 Double Cab

Re: 68 Double Cab

Thanks Bill, I had come across something called Weldwood Landau Top & Trim adhesive. Sound like what you are referring to more or less. Sounds like it will hold up to the heat the dashboard will be subjected to.

68 Double Cab

I am working on the dash board. The vinyl above the instrument cluster and the glove box had shrunk up. I used a heat gun and was able to massage it back into shape.

Anyone have any recommendations on the type of glue I should use?
