>I was driving my 62 notch yesterday to my friends wedding. I got about 10 min away from home when the car started to swerve and shutter. BAM! Hit the ground on the rear left at speed. I skidded 100 feet and pulled to the right. My tire and rim came off the drum! > Oh crap! So what happened to the Notch? A friend had this happen to his Bus a couple years ago, the rear fender well was heavily damaged, although he was going 55 mph. Another note, be careful if you powdercoat rims that you either do not powdercoat the area where the lug nuts contact the rim or scrap the powdercoating off that area afterward. One of my Bus friends had the lugnuts back off on him soon after powdercoating when it wore off from road vibrations. The rim came loose and he rolled his Bus on the highway. - Everett ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
