Vdubs, Hershey, Arrrrrrr & the largest Sandbox

This weekend at first looked to be a rain out but it turned into just overcast. So we headed to a local VW show to checkout some Beetles and see if I could score some parts for my Bug (struck out)l but Davey enjoyed checking out the cars and pointing out all the dogs :)


Thumbs up! (thanks for the pic Yohn)

Taper puller, Hat wearer & a Cute boy

Despite a beautiful weekend, Davey was slightly under the weather, with a running noise, slight fever and some crankyness. He seems to be doing better now. We had a lot going on this weekend as well. I had the Bug titled so I can drive it now. Also did some work on the kitchen today.


I'll help Dad


Blue Tape anyone?


Blue tape in the garbage...no prob Dad


So here are the colors, the chair rails started going up today. Kudos to Cat for doing most of the painting, nice to have color.

Also started polishing the Bug up this weekend

Wadup Big Bird!

Last night we took Davey and his cousin Braden to go see Sesame Street Live, all in all it was pretty fun. At first Davey was scared but then he opened up and started bopping his head, pointing and clapping.

It feels like 1963

Today I picked up my new...old car. Introducing the newest member into the Snyder Family and into my VW Collection a 1963 Beetle. I picked it up today from North Jersey, only two minor snags towing it back (had to tow it since we didn't have the title transferred and plates). Here are some additional notes on the car:
- Originally from Massachusetts
- All original parts, chrome, engine etc.
- Paint is not perfect but resprayed once to original colors
- Original interior
- 137K on the dial
- 1200cc, 6 volt
- Rag Top (Frikin' Slayer!!!)
- AM Radio...you know it
- Heat works, AC too (the ragtop)
- Drum Brakes
- Has original jack & owner's manual

Also snapped a few pixors, taking the family for a ride around the block. Will snap some more glam shots once I get the title transfer and my antique plate.


Dad's Happy


Ummm Dad are you sure this thing has airbags?


Off we go...has a spot patch job, at bottom of door, like I said the paint is not perfect I plan to redue within the year. My goal was to find something that I could drive right away and was original and solid.


Daily Driver M-F; Daily Driver Sat-Sun


1200cc of raw 40hp!!!


The AC


Dad you are telling me the engine is in the back of these things?


Pimp Dash

I am totally stoked to being driving air-cooled again! The best way I can describe it is...it feels like time slows down and everything is in slow motion. Mainly b/c the car is slow, but since there is nothing power about the car it's like you have rewound your watch 50 years ago. You just can't help to smile while you drive it.

Daddy's Lil' Helper

Today we decided to officially start our kitchen remodel...well it's not that there is anything wrong with our kitchen, it's just plain. Today we started with the walls, I will be sure to post progress as we make some :)
