    The original photos are fascinating! I just finished the restoration of a Brubaker Box and it was a challenge! But what an iconic little odd machine it is.

      Why not use a Type 2 chassis, especially when VW turned down Brubaker's attempt to purchase Type 1 chassis. It would have been infinitely easier to build a copy of the type1 combined with the characteristics of the type 2 chassis. I think they gave up too early.

    If I had a Brubaker box I would have a wooden bumper for ramming things and then I would have a very nice koa bumper for going to church.

    The 8-track was also used in the Voyager 1 & 2 space craft and the recorders continue to work now. I am guessing that the tape is layered metal. That is damned historical and it seems that it will continue to work long after mankind is gone.

    • @greggv8
      @greggv8 10 місяців тому

      The only thing the tape recorders on those probes have in common with an 8-Track is the way the endless loop tape pulls out from the inside of the hub and back in at the edge.

    The bumpers weren't wood. He made them out of fiberglass, and then painted them to look like wood. 😂 Guess they didn't do any research before they made the video! 😂😂😂😂

    That is right PRESIDENT TRUMP...TOTALLY...He is NOT a DemoRAT that is trying to destroy our nation and make it into a socialist state by open borders, free everything, etc....Just look at what Non American Nancy Pelosi is trying to do by adding more of the evil agenda of the DemoRATS in the Corona Relief Bill.....more of the same disgusting corruption...
    💯💯💯We are with you President Trump ! More than anyone of those Liberals will or could imagine!
    God bless our President. Thank you Lord for all the wonderful things our President is working on and this Rescuing the Children from this terrible fate is among them. President Trump loves the American People and this Country. Thank you for all the many blessings.

    The body panels and paint job on that particular example is horribly pebbly and is just awful looking! I've seen others examples that look sharp and sleek!
