Yes, I watched it, and enjoyed it immensely. Amazing that it has survived all these years...

Here's mine- When we made the headers for the Chevy 4.3 Vortec V-6, they just looked....wrong. So, I added a dummy pipe, to make it more aesthetically correct. I think the next time the headers come off, I am going to drill an tap next to the dummy pipe, and thread in some shortened header...

I guess my interior qualifies as "Green"... I didn't mean for it to be that way, it just kinda happened. First, for the floor mats, I wanted something tough, industrial, and easy to yank out and clean when needed. I stumbled upon a place called iron company <www.ironcompany.com> that makes...

23 years now, no visible scars and hardly any bloodshed :) I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I didn't know it was gonna be this hard. My wife just went through (still is, actually) the "Change Of Life" and let me tell you, some girls it doesn't seem to affect... my wife was NOT one of...

Hey, that's my car !!!! The VW was getting traded to my friend in lieu of a house selling commission, and the 27 Roadster belongs to my good friend Russ Hare, that shot was taken in front of my old house in Escondido, CA, in about 2004- to March of 2005. Here's the one (out of 11 I had at one...

After having over 100 of them, and working for both the US based VW magazines, I only have this one left... sold an original Meyers Manx, 52,000 mile 55 sunroof, 1967 21 window with safari windshields, and a few others, including my "rat rod" which was a 69 body, chopped 6 inches, Oval ragtop...

Anybody that was there, or saw the movie (who hasn't seen Woodstock??) might enjoy this: *Finally, after 40 years, someone has opened the vault and revealed the answer to a question that has clawed at our brains since the 1969 Woodstock album was released: What the hell were the lyrics to Joe...

There's a place in Dayton, OH, called the Taj Magaraj ( I think it's <www.tajmagarage.com> ) and the owner, John Dixon, has some very interesting Porsches. One that I remember best from my two tours there, was the 356, SEDAN DELIVERY, that was a prototype from the factory...

I got a 4 speaker stereo system in my 1957 VW sunroof Bug. One barrel for each cylinder, Weber 48 IDA's My speakers have 37mm venturis, 55 idle jets, 200 air correctors, and 165 main jets.

22 Dodge, Lloyd Mosher is sill somewhat active in the VW Drag Racing scene.... Marty Staggs ended up with the "Little Giant Killer" rail he built, and campaigned it quite successfully a few years back... I believe the Fiat is still in the back of either Lloyd's or Marty's shop... I'm surprised...

Cutting up an early VW convertible, unless it was so far gone no self-respecting Vintage VW Nazi would even look at it, would be kinda like chopping the top on a Duesenberg... They are just too valuable anymore to cut them up.... The support rails on a VW convertible are in the body, not the...

You have a PM. If you didn't find one, I know a guy up Old County Road, a few miles up past Azalea Park, that could probably help you out... or come down to Crescent City, and find Don Nuss at Redwood Welding Service...he made his own chassis, for what is considered the World's Fastest...

I was about 1/4 inch shy, and I found spacers (that go between the block and water pump) already made to spec on www.carshopinc.com... all the pulleys and water pump are new, so this seemed like the easiest way out. They come in 1/8 inch thick increments, from .125" to, I believe, .750"

I'm putting a 4.3 liter Chevy Vortec V-6 into my 26 T Tudor. I am using the short, "Monza" style pump. I ordered (from somebody, I don't remember who, it was quite a while ago) the supposedly correct Harmonic balancer and water pump pulley, for the short style SBC water pump, as I have been told...

Trust me, the cop was *NOT* smiling. It's 2:30 AM (I used to be a street sweeper, so I'd give the drunks enough time to either get home, crash, or get arrested, and then I'd hit the streets), in a not-so-good part of town, the cop pulls over a kid in a lowered, noisy, VW Bug, asks for Driver'...

BobW, believe it or not, if the car was still relatively rust-free, it's not uncommon to have guys put the front and rear clip and fenders back on an old baja, especially on the 1955 and earlier "ribbed door" cars, and even more so when they had the semaphore turn signals (as a 1954, yours had...

Donsrods, I see you are from Fort Myers... I have a very good friend of mine in Ft. Myers that puts out killer how-to videos in VW repair and maintenance, <www.bugmevideo.com> I've been to his house (where most of the footage is shot) a few times, and even have a cameo role in the floor pan...

This was my 1967, Walk-Through, 21 window before I added the Safari windows to it... also had a 1961 Single Cab Truck, with the dual toolbox doors underneath the bed ( if you were skinny enough, you could actually slither from one side of the truck to the other) that had a 1914 cc engine, dual...

Love the bumper sticker in the glove box, used to work for them and the other, now-expired, VW Magazine. Used to hit the Burger Meet/Shoreline College/Drag Races every July. Is that a beam extender, or a regular dropped tube axle? I was the one that did the story in Hot VWs about the SoCal Look...

Then and now... belongs ( or did belong, I don't know if he sold it, it was at Famoso last year with a fairly hefty price tag) to a friend of mine...
