Yep. It is unique. I can build one, but it sure would be nice to have the original part. Air cleaner anyone??

Ditto comments about Chuck , he really helped me out on my Humbug that I'm trying to restore .
I don't have an air cleaner either ,but was going to use an old chrome one. Do you have the two air cleaner pipes that go into the intake tubes ? I'm missing the left hand one and I'm going to try to make opne of those as well.
Are those decals originals ? I'm still trying to get a set of those too !

Thanks, Chuck ! I don't have the driving lights either, I was going to use the extra lights that came with the Stingaree and cut the backs down a bit. They look close in size.

Nice job! Those Baja Bugs are one of my favorites! I'll bet Chuck can fix you up on those spare parts. He's pretty good at casting.

yes sir.. I just located both the front suspension part and the air cleaner ... As soon as my "other" casting projects are in the clear , I'll get them casted up... I believe Don was going to send me a headlight bucket from a friend who is in need of a duplicate also .. I'd like to do these all at once ..

Did someone say decals? I got these from Keith (Eggzilla) you just need to trim them very carefully after printing on clear decal paper.  |

F91, nice work, once you get Chuck's parts on there it'll be looking good!
Hopefully I'll be firing up my Alps in the next few weeks and running off more Deal's Wheels decals. If any of you need decals, send me an email detailing what you need and I'll put you on the list. I don't run them often because frankly it's a headache because they are a multi-overlay process. So for example on Baja Humbug decals, there are two passes of white and then two passes of red, so four passes total to get the final product and that's one of the easier decals to do. It's very time-consuming and fussy work, and about 20% of the time the printer screws something up during one of the passes (alignment issues mainly) and I have to scrap that and start over. The paper is expensive, so I have to plan what I'm going to print a sheet at a time (6 sets of different decals per sheet, all requiring their own printer runs, so 24+ printer passes per sheet) and this is why I do them in batches rather than on a one-by-one basis.

Thanks Tres! And thanks for all that you do for the Deals Wheels fans!
Painted and installed the front bumper tonight. Made a base for the aircleaner last night and painted the air hoses. Coming along nicely.
