I changed the title of the thread, so it's incognito now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

- Sort of to do with the midengined-ness, my username, and of course the 420 914 thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

The car was very original, but quite trashed when I bought it. It's a 49 state car, purchased in Colorado judging by the sticker that was on the back opposite the badge, Bob Hagestad Dealerhip. I don't have a picture of that unfortunately... Both bumpers had 1975 UCLA parking permit stickers.

It is an appearance group car, tan square weave, late enough to get 2 real tan basket weave seats. Original adriatic blue paint, no repaints. The snowplow early rear valence. It has the original red heater lever pull which I don't see very much. Everything was there without having been hacked/modified (besides the door panels). Unmodified but fairly trashed.


Chassis # 174932

-Meaning the chassis was built the 17th week of the year 1972 (I think it is the 17th week with a Monday the way they count it), the 4th day of that week, Thursday April 27th, 1972. -I thought it was 4/20 but I must concede it was probably a week later, the chassis production.

It is odd, though, the dash doesn't match.

1729556 vs 1749532 which is on the Karmann plate and the trunk.

It would be from just 2 days earlier, but then I was thinking, if it was from another car, it could theoretically be from a 73 or a 74 car, too. It seems like it is original, though, as peple always bodge everything and it was fairly unmolested, the wiring, and hardware of the dash.

I cant add anything about the build other than "looks good, keep it up" but I know a little about self-surgery, I always like to get drunk first! Absinthe is great because it will numb you nicely while allowing you to keep focus, up to a point.

Also, I don't think that is a black widow. But, maybe thats a california black widow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

I think it's bit me, a brown widow, though. Their venom is twice as toxic as a black widow's but they inject less and it stays more localized instead of going to the whole body.

That's me in the middle of that large red area. I felt the bump on Monday last week. I think it was in my overalls. I thought it might go away, the bump, but it spread, swelled up. I ended up at the hospital on friday, and again today for intravenous antibiotic injections, and will be back there again tomorrow. Unbelievable the amount of nasty ichor, pus? that I have witnessed spout from my arm.

I'd hoped to be putting in the long on my next post here but I have been unable to work with it going on. It is a bacterial infection, fever, shaking, headache, etc. I've got some shots of where it sits, fairly impressive with almost all of the inner long welded and the firewall and floor fitted up. I will post pics soon (of the car, not the wound (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )
