So, to change subjects, I got a free vw today. 71 std. someone was going to make a back half trailer out of it, so its cut almost in half. All that wasnt cut was about 2 inches of the tunnel. You should have seen the roof flapping in the wind going down the interstate at 75 mph. I had to slow down because I thought it would rip in half.
But, its free!

Sounds like the 68 beetle I was given It ripped in half when I was dragging it home.Stopped on the side of the road and cut the front end off and crammed it in side of back end. Bolted a tow bar to the pan to get it home.About a mile from home I got stopped by a cop and get a ticket for towing a trailer full of VW junk with car plates on the back. With a hitch and two tires on the ground the cop considered it as a trailer. The Judge laughed it out of court and I got out of the ticket. My lucky day.

Trey, you've got nothing to prove... if you want to restore the car, do it, but it's not worth doing to prove a point to someone that is in such a state of denial that they won't even see the lesson...

LOL how has this not become a thread about me. You puppets keep me rolling on the floor. I have restore a dozen since Brad did joan's ans still waiting for you experts to do 1 come on I've had cars winning at ever show and not one of you whiners will even try.

Now that the thread is about me I have a story to add
One morning on my way to the shop I saw a beetle on the back of a boom truck that was split up the middle long ways,and wanted to get a picture so I had to run to the shop and get the camara.
When I was taking pictures the owner of the boom truck came out and said he was going to take it to the scrap yard I half jokingly told him I pay $50 for parts cars. He came back with I know where your shop is for an extra $25 I'll drop it off where you want.
For 15 yr it was a restaurant for Herbies in Greensboro ( not the one the Good ol volks meet) and know is my shop sign. Whats funny is this
70 bug didn't look like it was in bad shape and came with a set of pop- out windows (worth more then the $75)

I knew you'd come in here to make it about you... you can't resist... you are predictable, Marihack, just as all of your "restorations" will be hacks, you will always try to make it about you... it is funny that you think it was about you,yet you can't refute what was said... you neither have the brain power, nor the experience to refute it...
Brad didn't do anything, you did... and you don't restore cars, you slap paint on them, just as your pictures show.
I've done many, and trey even posted a pic of his latest project, seems you got it, asshat..
I didn't see a single car from you at Bugout, much less the show "winner".... a "show winner" would be best of show, not second in class out of a class of two.... I know you are stupid, but even you can't be that stupid..
if it wasn't for all the stealing you do, you'd be the finest source of comedy on the net... restorations? now THAT is a laugh...
J
Joey Tribiani
you told this story years ago, and the popouts are only worth about 25 bucks for the late models... do you EVER tell the truth?
K
Kafertoys
So new set of pop-outs cost $300+ but an original set is only worth $25 lol if this doesn't show how screwed up you are nothing does.. oh don't get me wrong I know you can find them cheap but Again its business and I would never sell a set that cheap..
And I didn't make it about me you did...and as far as it goes I am a funny guy just ask my customers when we joke how stupid you are.
J
Joey Tribiani
you are talking about late model pop outs.. they are available on the samba classifieds reguarly for less than you pay for a can of filler.... you are not in touch with reality in any way...
but you do show quality work... the pictures speak for you, since you won't... but they don't lie, so they are reliable, unlike when you *do* speak..
EXAMPLES OF THE WORK FROM VINTAGE WERKS RESTORATIONS! no opinions, just pictures that speak the truth and only the truth, unlike that lying shitbag Mario:

Cheapest I see on the 1st page of the samba when serching pop out windows in this area are $65 and i don't spend that a year for filler on the many restorations I do.
Its you that needs a reality check but keep on whining its great for laughs
T
Trey
You don't spend that much on filler because you buy the cheap s*it that bubbles and pops off when your lack of body preperation sets in. Ive posted pictures of my cars here. I've done much better work than you. I KNOW how to do metal work. Other people have posted their pictures, and they do better work as well.
There is a pair of popouts for 25, so keep looking. You halfassed a search for popouts like you halfass everything else. Did you run out of time because you had to go get another fix? Did your parents have any kids that lived?
Seriously, why the hell do you even post here? You have no fans on ramva. Consider posting your stuff on the samba. There are a few threads over there about you already. You could use one of those to post your work. Or maybe callook would like to hear from you.

he tried that recently at Cal-look, and as with everywhere he posts pictures, the folks told him exactly what the pictures show... he loves the negative attention, it's all he can get... If mario was as "good" as he thinks he is, his work and customers would speak for him, but all we see are crackpot cars and silence from customers... he sure does try to toot his own horn, though...

e callook would like to hear from you.
Do I have to find all the attacks on people that have commented in my behalf. i'll stick to the show wins as far as my work goes and that of the all the people that have the balls to come to my shop, which you have more then then once you lack.
Get over it your s*it talk has gotten you nowhere and won't but keep an eye on my webshots pages theres more to come
R
Randy
Yeah, he can be that stupid.
I think he needs to define what a winner at a show is and then provide proof that his cars won. Also need to know the # of cars in that class and pictures of the winning car. Owners name and phone number would be nice also.
Could be his finished cars are winning the work in progress class. And I doubt even then he would win that class.

Trey
Could you please not type while you are taking another hit, or shooting up, whatever you do.
But, from what I could understand...

Great, now Mario is emailing me directly. The funny part was, I got an erectile disfunction email right before his.
