seat belts
Hey Bus Owners,
Scott, What does your bay bus have for seat belts?
Mark and Martin, What are you planning as far as seat belts in your bus?
Ellodee and I rode out to Tybee today and for what ever reason the subject of seat belts came up. As it is now, we're just a hood emblem riding down the road...it's only a slight notch above a motorcycle. I really don't care too much about my personal safety, but I really need to do something if I'm going to put my wife in that situation.
I was thinking about welding in some brackets and finding some aftermarket or salvage yard assembly which will include a shoulder strap.
If interested, we could fab something up and try it in my old bus first. It would be bad to design something and realise you don't like it after you've welded it in. I don't mind being the guinnea pig.
thoughts????
At any rate, we went to tybee today to watch the polar bear plunge. It was quite the spectacle. The bus as usual was a crowd pleaser. It was hard to get out of the parking lot with the number of people wanting me to stop for a photo op. I never thought an old junkyard bus would have so much appeal. Scott and Martin, I bet you get a lot of thumbs up and peace signs too. Mark, I can't wait to see the response when you get your resto done. Should be fun.
By the way, here are some pics of the crazys today.
The pics may just look like people standing around, but click on them and take a close look at the outfits. Gorilla suits, fur coats, hot dog, shark, tutus, prom dress, neon wigs...among others. I think the drinkin' started pretty early.

Happy New Year
To all in DKK, happy new year!!! Hopefully 2009 brings all of you a great year. I wonder if Jeff is going to hold my t-shirts hostage as long as I had his wheel, he never did pay any ransom!

herbie
well just got time to slow down in case you have't heard herbie got to be the first vw to be invited to the concuors de elegance in hilton head he also got invited to go on the driving tour in savannah this was the first time they done this in 100 hundred years my oldest son and my grandson joey came down from maryland to go with me. I even got to drive on the race track at hutchenson island, and I out ran a porsche. We had a ball. Our bark in the park was a hugh success thanks partly to the DKK members that showed up, we thank you. Last Saturday we went in the parade in Pembroke with herbie and his trike bike entered the trike bike in the bike show and won top trike. In the bark in the park we addopted 16 dog for animal control and 2 puppies that someone brought. Last friday I got an old english bulldog and 5 puppies that I am fostering along with my own 7 dogs, so the house is pretty busy now.

been a while but Ive been busy
Hate to let you down, but I better stick to the stickers. I cant get any large amounts of metal right now.
things are happening with my 2 toys - Jakes building the bus a RAT 091 tranny and the Thing is almost in the paint shop- with a few surprises waiting when it emerges. Mark I read your post about Jake- I know you have dealt with him longer than I have but I have always had great response from him directly WHEN i start the conversation on the forums, for a 2 dollar part or a 1000 dallar part or even just advice. I think he is extremely busy multitasking and email and forums allow for that as well as keeping fluff to a minimum. Just my opinion, I have been very happy with the forums and his service...........now if I can just get my exhaust! ( that was phil a month ago heh)
Hey everyone....next time you call Jeff ask him what he likes on his Hot Dogs....he might not get it right away....but eventually if everyone keeps asking him.
Phil - thanks for the invite on halloween but the kids were having too much fun in the nieghborhood...lots of haunted houses.....to drive anywhere.
We are probably out of any upcoming events for a while as I am really trying to make things happen with our VWS, but itll be worth it
happy motoring

Hey, I looked at their website and their phone number is published. You might have to call them. Can you speak German as well as you can type it?
Also if you have a pic of the part, you could post a wanted ad on the samba....someone may know of a reseller in the States.
