Here's the bus end of Oct. All the grey primer areas was where KCW had already done body work when it was John's project. The roof is super-d-duper fucked. The front skin is also thrashed.

I got a couple new sponsors this week

Old Speed offered up the rest of what I needed for my 944 front and rear disk brakes. If you want to run some Porsche pattern wheels and want to go disk, call Russell and he'll hook you up with a kit.

Grease Monkey Racing offered to sponsor the aluminum high roof engine case!! Andy already sponsors a few drag racers and owns a mobile auto repair service in So Cal. He's got a bunch of positive feedback on the Samba and is in demand because of his come-to-you mobile service.

Thanks Russ and Andy for your support

Got a few more sponsors for the project this week.

DPR Machine Shop - http://www.dprmachine.com/ - donated one of their 84 mm C/W crankshafts. These guys always donate a crank to the Las Vegas VW Club raffle. These guys know how to support the hobby. Give them a call if you need parts for your botton end. Thanks Jose.

Speedwerks - http://www.speedwerks.net/ - Speedwerks decided they wanted in, so Noah conrtibuted a MSD 6AL box with soft touch rev limiter. Noah builds some super clean motors and can do any import engines including rotary. Thanks Noah

Engle Cams - http://www.englecams.com/index.php - I called up Engle and they tossed one of their cams into the motor. I've always run Engle cams and really believe in their products. Thanks guys.

I still have a bunch of stuff needed to make this happen. I you are interested in getting involved go to http://www.volksarama.com/BonnevilleBuildup1.html to see what we need. Thanks......................Derek
