I used a good old-fashioned chalk line and bubble level to build the
work benches in the garage, even. And they're almost straight/level.

Nah... I spent the weekends and summers of my "childhood" helping
my dad on the job. He used to do home improvements, build new houses,
owned two construction companies at one time or another, etc, etc. I
still remember when he'd come up to me on a "school day" and say
something like "So, you're doing ok in school, right? Any tests
today? All caught up? Yeah, then how'd you like to not go to school
today and hang out with me?" *groan* I knew what that meant. I
still remember my "work boots" that I wore a hole in the sole of.
I've done a little of just about all of it. Framing, trim work (yeah,
I know they don't mix), roofing, etc. It *is* really satisfying to
work on something and be able to see the results of your work. The
job I do now is usually not as um... obvious... I mean the results of
my work are not as obvious. I worked today for probably at least four
hours building another network testbed and even though I got
everything working, nobody will walk by and notice that anything has
changed. Just 15-20 network cables and some bits got flipped on
routers and switches. Usually it's not even that obvious. Just keep
the paychecks coming, and I'll keep on being the @sshole who gets to
work early enough to take the best parking spot. :-D (And the one
who leaves at 2:30 or so usually, since I got to work so early and all
that sorta thing. WOOT!!!)

I've lived in Huntsville (Madison country) for the last 15 years or so.
Grew up in Montgomery though. We're practically neighbors. I get
over to Decatur every so often. Usually for the hot air balloons on
Memorial Day, though we skipped it this year since the weather was so
overcast and the forecast kept threating rain (don't think it ever
materialized though).

Likewise, good to see someone here from a familiar place. You wouldn't
have a line on any good bugs for sale over there would you. Looking for
something in the '64 to '67 range.

I got a 64, but it ain't for sale and I don't think you would want it
anyway. It is a little ruff and has been treated ruff over the years
prior to my ownership. I have been working on it and have it in much
better shape than when I got it. But it still has a LONG way to go.

http://vdubbs64.tripod.com will get you some pics and other stuff. I
am planning on attending the Hunstville VW club show next month, maybe
we can meet up then.

Your '64 looks WAY better than the one I had, and a lot better than what
I am likely to start with when I get going on this. I actually ran
across your website last year some time. I liked your pictorial and
description of the work you did on the front end.

Where and when will the Huntsville VW club meet next? Do they have a
website or some sort of newsletter and what are the dues if any? Not
having a car yet I might not go, but then again it might be a good place
to get a line on a where I might buy a local car.

Here is a link to the club, http://www.navwc.org/home.html

I am not a member as I did not know they existed till just a few days
ago. I hope they still are having the show July 16, 2005 as is shown
on their webpage. Give a yell if you think you will try to come and we
can meet up and put a face with a name.
