Well Baxter is gone Sad but, he has been replaced with an awesome 72 Bay cheers
It is already slammed and running a 1641dp motor with dual carbs and a mild cam.

Thanks
I hated to let Baxter go but I just couldn't afford 2 right now and a Bus better
fits us right now (a lot more room).

Yep, we just traded. I really think I came out better on the deal. The Bus is real solid and
the motor is only about 3 months old. I need to do a few little odd and end things but
otherwise it's in great shape.

72 was the first year of the type 4 motor. This one has been converted to a
type 1 motor though. I need to make some tins or buy the fiberglass one to fill in the gap. Otherwise it looks like it was done right.

Yep all solid. There is a little surface rust under the rubber mat in front
of the sliding door but nothing major at all.
