I don't think that's a stock beam. But I like it A little extreme on the rear, how wide are those steelies? _________________ 62 Rag - a little crusty |

It's not mine. But a friends. It is stock beam. He takes pride in having a super low stock beam bug. I believe 8 in the rear. Those are bus rims in the front. Only adjusters and dropped spindle in front _________________ 1967 Bug:

I don't care for the look of a really narrow beam. Mine is stock width with adjusters and drop spindles. 145's:

Looking good LaSpaz...if it were mine I'd leave the front exactly the way it is and probably go up one click in the rear. Little too much camber for me but it's got a great look to it! _________________ 69 bug 1600sp buckpack ceramic header w mondo muffler, riviera wheels, 185/65 front 205/70 rear, dual baby webers, big stereo in the works.

so i found a person who had a bug this model, stock beam, bus rims, drop spindles and adjusters, had to take it back apart and narrow the beam because the fenders were sitting on the tires, so this is a narrowed beam in this picture. physics never lie.... _________________ 68 bug, 1500 single port
