    Hey, we're hungry for projects!! If you post pictures we'll look! Who knows, we might talk you into a small block V8 in the back seat, chopping the top, dropping it into the weeds, and generally making a nasty toy!!

    Heck yes Vic, we would be interested in your VW project. Is it a split rear window early bug with the 6 volt battery and candles in the headlights ? Or a bug convertible with a 1800 hotted flat four with a couple of downdraft webers, lumpy cam and big bore extractor system that looks like a neatly tied knot ? Or one that the front torsion bar axle has been replaced with a dropped axle and wishbones ? I think you may realize that some of us would be interested . Did you manage to track down new rubbers for the running boards ?


    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    I did locate the rubber except it was over priced as only a few ppl do it. If I want I can get them later. Instead I blasted them and had then covered with spray able bedliner so those boards will last forever. I did locate rubber covers to put on them and if I wanted it to be correct as stock I can apply those with no problem.

    The bug is a 74 standard. Body off resto floors heater channels front and rear aprons replaced. 2.5" drop on the front I have a stroker with dual webers and some other upgrades that needs to be put back together and put in. I am putting smooth top front fenders on with halogen headlights with city lights as the turnsignals. Seats have been replaces with 67 low backs. This pic is old. I still need to paint etc. I hope by the end of summer it will be done. I'm looking for a cool deep purple that looks black from a distance with metal flake. But that's her!

    I like and the twin webers on a worked engine with a good exhaust system will give it the punch you need when you want. I like roof chopping them too but that is a major job and one for a good craftsman more so then the back yard body person to get right. When I was an apprentice panelbeater too many years ago I did a heap of work on a beetle that had a Corvair 6 in it with webers etc, the body had been changed into a utility type body using a curved windscreen from a early Vauxhall car for the rear screen. I wish I had photos of that thing now as it was truly a one of the kind and absolutely gorgeous.
