V-dubs in the traditional hot rod style

Hey it was the 80's that was cool. You know how that **** comes and goes... but I think a steak would be better and some potatoes, a little better of a meal.

 

Listen up all you Limeys!!!

We'll complain about our gas prices as much as we damn well want to! ...Got it!

And if you got a problem with it we ain't above bombing your miserable little, foggy, bland food (what the **** is a baked potatoe with tuna fish on it anyway?!!!) island flat!!!

Alright, alright, it was a joke, OK? You know I love all you pale little gouty ******s!

I know - amazing isn't it. There's actually TWO going on on the board right now....only 1 ***** overall. Whoda Thunkit?

 

You know what I do have one ***** about VW since no one else will bring it up... why are the parts for the the old flat 4's so much cheaper then for my Ford Sled. That is about the only ***** that I have. It is amazing that you can build a VW engine at about a dollar a CC. I had a buddy that had a split window here that we nicknamed *****ing Camero just for kicks and giggles. Half the mullet guys here in Oklahoma couldn't ever figure out how a VW could run with the Cameros. Pretty funny stuff I think.

 

Bus's are bad*** too!
The patina on this one is spot-on. It was in so-cal and then a guy from the UK bought it for a very princely sum....

 

Kick *** post!
Keep it going!

I like the SOCAL LK bug... is it a differn't one that the gloss black one?

Yep, two different cars. The gloss black one is called the Stink Bug and won it's cl*** at the Oakland Roadster Show (or whatever it is called now) last year or the year before.

Get the base coat on it (black of course)...bring it home and layout the flames....shoot em yourself....take it back for clearcoating.....done deal...you have your orders.

 

lets see if i can manage to post a couple more pics without posting any duplicates. oh, and i'm to inform you all that "our" Bug is actualy just CherryBlossom's Bug and i have no rights to it (even though i traded MY beloved S10 for it). i know, i'm such a nice guy to keep my girl drivin cool cars year round.

this is the front of the one with the spider web insert in the Tailgate...

 

Pete and Jake style!!

 

this is a neat little truck version. i think the same kid with the shortened one has this one. i THINK.

 

Cragars and wide whites is an interesting look.

 

did i show this one??

 

this looks to be a 4-71 blower. now thats WILD!

 

If you want to see some more killer Vdubs check out Bugnaked.com. Keep the nitro close by, and I don't mean methane.

 

here's a few from my archives.
the first is a 60 a buddy of mine built. the front end is one of those ols 40 ford vw conversions, modified a bit.


the other two are some random shots i took at the vw cl***ic in anaheim a few years back




lets keep it goin'

 

custom dash...

 

I like this 1947 split window. Yes, I said 47'. This is a very rare little bug. I bet the VW purist see this and get so mad they have to go home and beat their old lady's....lol

 

another view of this one...

So we can ***ume she can do anyway SHE wants to do it
Trust me Mike, let her have her way. Move on to the Manly-Man hot rod projects you got going

 

this is the ****. talk about thinking "outside the box".

 

Thanks for posting all those pics from my site (VolksRods.com),
kustombuilder... saved me a bunch of time.

Most of the owners of those rides are members there (except
the SoCalook bug and a couple others). If anyone's
interested in actually building one of these up, come on
over, check us out and show us what you got cookin'.
Plus any questions you have on how any of these cars were
built (front suspension extensions, etc) can be answered
there.

Good to see a post with VWs in it go this far. Must be a
record.

That bus brought the bank because it is a "Barndoor". Barndoors were pre-1955 if I remember correctly. Notice it has no turn signals over the headlights and no overhang above the windshield. Tiny taillights and the "barn door" engine lid. The Barndoor is the '32 Ford of busses. The 23 window Deluxe Barndoor would be the Deuce roadster (or coupe, depending on your taste) of busses.

Seriously, this So-Cal Look VW post needs to stop. Ya'll have me wanting to go find a good Bug to store for my son someday.

Not only was that a Barndoor but it was also a real Mercury logoed bus. I drive that *******!

 

1Low,

So that Bus was yours? I'm in VW rehab but always went nuts over a bus.
