Good morning. I am new to the forum and would like to tell you about my project. It is a 1969 VW,Type III Squareback. Chassis is 2" x 3" tube chassis, Mustang II front suspension, sbc 350/330hp,700R4,narrowed 9" Ford,triangulated 4-bar. This is a slow project, but I have nothing but time.

I knew a guy quite a few years back that had one of those VW pickups that had a mid engine 327 in it. Quite a sleeper if you do it correctly.Bug

Hell I want a ride in that thing when it's done.
Use to hang out w/a guy about 15yrs ago(we were in Gateway VW Club together) that had a 10sec street legal white 67 Beetle(2400cc mtr) and a red 63 Notchback w/a built mtr also.
He would run the beetle over at Gateway & do 1/8 mile wheelies in that all steel bug.
If you didn't pay attention to when he was shifting that thing would send you to the chiropractor.Donate Blood,Plasma,Platelets & sign your DONORS CARD & SAVE a LIFE

His name wasn't Al Shelton, by chance,was it? I knew a few of the guys in that club also,one on particular was Pat Hoffman. Don't get me wrong, in my own opinion, there were a lot of "premadonnas" in that club though.That is why I never joined. Originally Posted by TooMany2count

LMAO........
No it wasn't Al, but he is a character in his own right.
I use to know some of those primadonnas, God I hated "cliques".
No I was talking about a guy named Elo, haven't seen nor talked to him in years.
Myself and several others quit the VW Club just before the Benton Show at the racetrack down there.
We seen what was happening & wanted no part of it.
I was the events chairman at the time but had nothing to do w/the show so I quit.
Haven't been in a car/truck club since.
Well I take that back, for a while I considered myself a member of the "Honkers" car club.
It had no dues, one meeting a year & EVERYBODY was President, it even said that on the Club Jackets....joeDonate Blood,Plasma,Platelets & sign your DONORS CARD & SAVE a LIFE

Wow! Now that's a fine looking project. Your frame and sheetmetal work look exceptional so far. Looks like you has a really solid candidate to start with, too.

Thanks for the comments. I'm trying. The 'ol cherry-picker really comes in handy to move the body around, especially when you are a "one-man-show". Gonna start hitting it hard again before the wife and I take off for another month long camping trip out to California,again. Originally Posted by falconvan
