Hello, I'm looking for a windshield for my 1956 Sedan. Any ideas where I can get one? Is the glass really flat? Can a local glass company cut me one that would work and look nice? Thanks, Eric Sent from my iPhone -- Visit the VintagVW archives at

Re: [vintagvw] i'm in

Hello all, I’m still here in Des Moines, Iowa. I’m still working on my custom ‘56 sunroof Beetle and drive my ‘60 Karmann Ghia when it’s nice. I’m getting my Beetle ready to paint next spring and I’m thinking flat/satin black. So it almost looks like primer. Any thoughts or problems I might

Re: [vintagvw] Brake main cylinder conversion from single to dualsystem?

[vintagvw] Carberator Problem?

What does the adjustment on the accel arm of a 34 Pict -3 carb supposed to do? I assume it makes the accel pump squirt faster when you hit the throttle? (I have the non-alternator carb that I modified to work.) Problem is - hesitation. it hesitates after it's warmed up. The hesitation isn't

Re: [vintagvw] 34 Pict Carb Linkage

I think I got it to work. I took the accell arm of my old 30 pict carb and it fits great. It might need some adjustment on the end of the arm. It looks like it will move at the right time. I gotta clean the carb, then I'll try it out! Eric - Original Message - From: Jerry
