Joe, the girls will get a ride in the bus, I promise. I can now put the interior in and it should be ready for joy rides in the near future. I know how much they like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This is great news!

Do they even do vehicle inspections in Washington County? They may not, each county is different, and seem to be more lax the farther left you go.


yes there is state inspection, but they may not have emissions. Nice work on the bus Mike! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

Of course it is. The Evil Bus is legendary. How many other people get their dinner interupted by fuching ELVIS, because he wants to talk you into selling your vehicle. How many vehicles were constructed with the possible ability to play Yakety Sax through the fuel induction system?

Its legendary!

How many vehicles are powered by a Frankenstein German-American hybrid power plant that is at least 40 years old? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I will try to shoot some video of it running and driving soon.

How many other vehicles are getting a mural of a lewd and lascivious lady with a sword and armour and a purple dragon airbrushed on both sides?

BTW Doc you still haven't got back to me on the total number of snakes you wanted writhing at her feet. I can't finish the proofs until you confirm the details.

Very nice work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You're too close to done. I think that engine needs a turbo.

Its not done. Its passable for now is all. The carb and induction that Mike has on it is very similar to bolting a single progressive on a 914 just to gt it driving. The exhaust is just painted flex pipe. There is so much power yet to be found out of that engine with better induction and exhaust.

Well, that, and most of the interior is still sitting in my garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

AND there is the whole "its gotta go back to Scotty to get the top cut off and the pop top welded in" thing.

Its driving, but far from done.

Everything needs a turbo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The 4bbl is actually far superior to a progy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) It is as done as it will be in the engine department for a while. It works very well as is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Better than stock!

Read everything again on this thread! It is one of the best threads I have ever read and includes a lot of "stick-to-it" attitude, working in cold, meeting adverse problems, adapting and changing as necessary, traveling long distances, working normal jobs, going to school, studying, - - - - -I could keep going on.

The dream is in a working configuration and Dr. Evil and Vacca Rabite along with Scotty should be complimented on the excellent job and getting the job completed. I really liked the way the thread was written and the humor which goes along ways in helping in getting a project through its problem areas. It was really nice to see collateral support from others to help in fixing cars as well as supportive.

This thread shows me that anything and everything is possible if you are willing to try and meet problems. The problems are really challenges and require adjusting as necessary with the final being in nature.

I am not very good in expressing the things that I see and feel in this thread but with people such as the ones involved here, I think the future is very bright for Americans.

I really enjoyed the thread and it was very informative; keep it up!!

Thanks for letting me read it.

Nice sentiment, Steve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So, when I got home from the WCR I saw a large puddle of ATF under the bus (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) It turns out that the gasket sold to me by a vendor long ago (not Corvair Ranch) was for a cast aluminum pan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) It did not seal much at all. So, I spent the wee hours of last night removing and replacing with the correct seal. I hope the bus will be up by about 24hrs of me returning. Then I can take the VUE down for maintenance, and the suby, and....

To ease my mind I started getting stereo parts for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I had the head unit for it, Jakeodoule donated some nice 180w polk audio speakers he had, I got some similar 4 voice speakers for the rear, a 5 channel 700w amp and am awaiting to hear back on a subwoofer box/speaker combo.

Scotty, I am so swamped that if I make it out to Nags Head it will be a miracle. I may be able to make it out the last day and then drive to yoru shop to put the camper top on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I would really like to get the top on before I move.

My to do list includes:
- 6 transmission rebuilds (people always wait until the last minute)
- Fix bus issues (looking very promising)
- Fix suby (let the pain begin)
- Fix VUE (checkbook please)

Oh ya, pack and move on the 20th (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Perma-grin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I finally got the damn carb sorted! An unusual engine takes an unusual carb setup. I ended up with 58 jets (will evaluate this later), a 4.5 power valve (vac was 6), and a 37 squirter. Some big numbers for a 6, and the stock 2.7 would have used the smaller, more conventional sizes, but with the extra 400cc I added (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I needed more food for my monster. This thing is unbelievable! It sounds like a V8 van.

Noel just drove it for the first time and she could not stop making noises and smiling. She cant stop saying how proud she is of me on my project and how much she loves it. She is really cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I will try to shoot some video so y'all can see the thing run. It will not do it justice though as the bass of the engine will not adequately capture (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
