Rebuild and Adjust Weber
Progressive Carbs

Beth and I (josh, 57 oval) would like to thank everyone for having us at the fixit day. I have been in the VW hobby for 12 years and never knew what I was missing by not being in a club. To be with all of you fellow enthusiast was great. your hospitality was amazing, thanks for the warm pole barn, I will wear pants and a jacket next time! Thanks Howard for taking me for a mad run to your place in the buggy, it put a big grin on my face, and a pain in my neck trying to fit in the thing! None the less a real fun experience. I will stick with the 36 hp in the oval yet. If I ever get the itch to build a hot rod VW, you will be the guy I talk to. The shirts and hats are great, we love them! Thanks Jim Bremer for telling me about the club and my oval, also! I am going to bolt on the revamped 28 pic and hope it does the trick today. we wish we were in closer proximity to the club, but we will be sure to make it to more of the upcoming events. its great knowing that there is an unlimited amount of resources of parts and knowledge from all of you, and that you happily want to help us out. Have a good day everyone. Josh and Beth

Thanks go to Jesse Rorrer and Brian Fahrbach for providing the dual carb projects for the day, too. Thanks to everyone who helped with the projects including a couple extra projects that were added at the last minute. Thank you to Howard, Sr. for making a parts run.
Club members were on hand throughout the day to help. They shared their knowledge, strength, words of wisdom and generally looking over your shoulder. Thanks to Jenny for doughnuts and lunch. Joyce and Sherri pitched in for lunch, also.
