I put 4" fiberglass batt insulation on the floors of my '64 bug, replacing it every winter for a few years. It really helped retain enough heat to keep from shivering. Still had to scrape ice off the inside of the windshield as I drove. The gas heater worked well in my '67 Squareback, but it really sucked gas, and I was always waiting for it to explode and incinerate me. The '64 rotted out. The '67 steel held up well. --Vic Say what! Fiberglass insulation? I would have been iritated to hell..from sneezing and scratching. |

" When I was in grades chool, my folks had a Hudson Wasp, and it had what seemed to be a dimmer swith under the accellorator pedal, which kicked it out of ED. I learned on a Hudson Hornet. When I lived on the family farm, my cousin and I used to see how many rollovers we could get out of it. :) They were hard to roll over normally. Was the first car to have the passengers sit between the frame rails. Held the most NASCAR wins until MoPar factroy entered racing. My dad had a 49, 51 and 53 Hornet with the Twin H power. They were fast. My brother wrecked the 53 when he was using it after his Navy basic training. |
