I like the body of it. I don't like the use of the tunnel converted to a trailer tongue.

Don't really know but thats not his initials...

Its a little known fact that JFKs wife Jackie Boluvar Kennedy was an "Air cooled car Freak". She had a collection of Beetles and Busses long before JFK or that Onassas fellow came on the scene. Jack might have stumbled onto a missing piece of History! Its rumored that she had her mechanic do "Custom Designer Touches" to all her cars so a set of monagramed heads could be a natural! Nice touch to a crappy set of heads! 

Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!   c23

No new motor, I was just looking through my old photos for the avatar Shawn made of my bus and I can't find it so I saw the photo of the heads on my bus and used it.

JBKs are very special heads and I first posted a picture of them when I first got my bus because I was sshocked* to see a brand new set of them on the bus along with an invoice (one of many) in the glove
box from GB for the heads, rocker assy's and adjusting screws. They are made of China high grade 6061 aluminum and they were so expensive they were discontinued for lack of sales. The only drawback with them is when they get above 200o they start to melt, thats why I only drive my bus when its raining, cold or snowing the scoops on the sides of the bus suck the rain, cold and snow into the engine compartment and keeps it under 200o.

I know VW's aren't made to go out in any kind of weather except  :icon_sunny: but I do what I have to do if I want to drive my VW.

Thanks Jack!

I wonder if its long enough to sleep in.


 Greg was wanting to sleep in something else besides a tent, and this is much cheaper than a camper!

 "It even has the original roof rack cut to size!"

I never noticed that line... that's like double fail. Matt I doubt it's big enough to sleep in, maybe if I was in the fetal position.  @7@

Now on to the next myth: "What ever happened to Hitlers ashes?"  screwey))

ok not sure where this question came from but if i remember my history channel he killed himself then was taken outside his bunker in berlin where he and eva were partialy creamated by the SS the russians then bombed the place and they were buried in a shallow crater left from the Bombs. 

am i right did i win. 
Title: Re: Not for John' G's eyes...
Post by: lovebus (jack) on November 03, 2009, 11:40:10 am
You didn't win because he never really was killed. He got out of German land and lived in China for another 30 years, he opened a small business making JBK heads, thats why they are worth millions now.

Na...
He really did get cooked in that bunker but..I heard that a "little bit of adolph" was in every beetle made. Just look under the passenger rear fender...and you thought that was a "Charcoal canister"! yea right!
