Spotted a couple of bugs out in 2 different pastures this past week or so. Look to me a 74 and the other is a late 66, maybe 67. Pretty sad shape from what I can tell but I'll bet they are "show winners".
I'll have to track down the owners and find out the scoop, etc.

cool another thread about me..
My multi show winning, including Bug out 64 was a pasture car that was said to be only good for parts.
Your right it is a shame, even if they can't be returned to the road they could help many others do so.
Fuck off, Mario.
Dumb ass. Where do you see your name mentioned in my post ? I do have a bug that came from a pasture and has won shows. And unlike you I can prove it with pictures and trophies.
Now prove everything you just said Mario. Who owned the car when it was shown ? Any pictures ? Prove that you did the work on it and it wasn't changed any before the show. You can't as you are lying as usual.

It still looks great today and runs like a dream.
Oh nice. Check out this sweet welding...
look at the bottom right, even your webshots account is telling you to stop doing drugs.
are you a vw in a pasture? (probably more likely a "pie"), if not, the thread can't be about you, n*****ts...
yeah, that show winner... you told me face to face(about the only time you are honest) that your 64 was only "daily driver" quality and that it had never shown at bugout... fast forward a few years to you finding a plaque then suddenly it "won" bugout.... you are a tool...
you don't need parts from old cars when polyester is so cheap...
I saw his awards picture and first thing that popped into my head is I wonder who is missing theirs. I also noticed the picture of his 64 is from quite a distance so no details or workmanship are showing.
same pic he's been showing for years... but from folks that have been up close and personal to the car, it is as Mario described to me, nothing more than a daily driver quality car... nothing wrong with that, but to brag about "show quality" then explain shitty work with "my customers just want daily drivers" shows the he actually realizes that there's a difference... of course the pics I posted links to don't show daily driver "quality" it shows lack of talent...
There is a '58 or so sunroof Bug in the field next to Boondocks USA (Rt
35, Iowa). It has settled into the ground up to the hubcaps, and is filled with dirt. All a guy has to do is carve out the dirt sticking through the rust holes and it's a SHOW WINNING CAR! I wonder if it ain't Mario's first restoration.
If I had started this thread and it was going to be about bondoboy, I would have said I found a pile shit in the pasture.
That's horrible! It looks like the splatter board behind my stick welding bench!
LOL can't go with out talking about me I see.... Well I'm doing the restoration and getting paid well, Well all you do is set behind a key board and bitch... lets see your work
I had a great time at the Farmington show hope all did.
no one said anything to or about you... but you were foaming at the mouth waiting for something like this... sad, really..
that's funny....
no one was bitching, dimwit, a comment was made on what terrible welding looks like... it must be true "the bit dog yelps loudest"... you sure are yelping..
lets play a different game this time Marihack... instead of seeing someone elses work who isn't claiming to do restorations(as you claimed you do above), lets look at YOUR work...
EXAMPLES OF THE WORK FROM VINTAGE WERKS RESTORATIONS! no opinions, just pictures that speak the facts:
yellow ghia that Mario claimed to be "show winning work"(pictures taken at a show while it was on display)
Mario claimed this 66 to be show quality, here are some pictures he supplied(typical 20 footers he likes to show):
CAVEAT EMPTOR
care to comment on how great your work is? Your silence probably says more than you can, but give it a try.
guess you didn't "win" any second place shows or you'd be bragging by now...
Sailing thur. fri. & sat.????? I thought you were so busy working on cars !!!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Jerry
He was probably being given a swirly by a "satisfied" customer.
Possibly he was sailing with another "satisfied" customer and got lucky when the anchor chain came lose from him while he was sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Randy
What are you talking about? That's the finest welding that grade A coat hanger wire and meth can produce.
You guys really need to get a life, Or at least do some work on your cars instead of bitching about the show winning cars I do. But keep bitching it might do some good someday, its not like your getting anything else done.
I'm still getting the last laugh.
I've been trying to stay out of this fruitless tug-o-war, but I gotta tell you... if it never STOPS, there IS no "last laugh". Claiming the rights to it and then keeping the thing going is not getting the last laugh. Would you all please stop the pissing contest. It stinks here because of it. I declare NO WINNER so you all can just stfu.
