I found an excellent, small automotive repair shop (two person) that was
willing to take on the project of rebuilding the front end of my '65 VW
Bus. The owner of the shop located the required parts from a source in
California and had me order them using my credit card.


When they arrived (new bushings, tie rods, steering damper and misc.
components) *they replaced everything and it passed the MA safety
inspection.


Honest, decent shop. *Total cost was $126 for parts and $265 for labor.
I was expecting a much, much higher bill.


They will certainly get our auto maintenance and service business in the
future.


Now, for a new paint job.

Do you have a particular artist in mind?


Still trying to conjure up a paint scheme. * *I don't want the "hippy" look
with flowers and peace signs.
Maybe something that makes it look like an Abrams M1 tank or something.

Naw, nice two tone... Maroon and white with a slight curve to the
midline?
