As you can see from the photos above, I did both. (But I would never call either one boring.)

Yeah, I was being a little facetious there. You did a super job w/both!

To give credit where credit is due, the stocker was built by my friend John Kellestine of St. Catherines, Ontario.

I had wanted a kick-butt version of the IMC gasser for awhile, so I built this one. I upgraded the wheels and tires to something a little more aggressive than what came with the kit, but otherwise built it pretty much box stock.

Maybe we should start a thread on VW model builds.

That is a good idea, unless there is already one started.

It's good to see you posting too, Steve. I still have my "Common Gear" newsletters stashed away.

After a quick topic search, I couldn't find anything, so I'll go ahead and start one.

I just completed my Dune Buggies & Hot VW's Magazine Collection. From the first issue to the present (February 2012), and including the 8 specials throught the years, my count is 511 issues. I wonder if Hot Vw's know that their March 2011 was their 500th publication?


Congratulations on completing your collection of hot vw's.

I have a faver to ask. If its not to much trouble can you look up an article and give me the month and year it was printed?

The article was about converting a 4 cylinder 1600cc to a 2 cylinder 800cc. I believe the article was in the late 70's possibly 78.

Thanks dustin

Recently I was thumbing through some of my early issues looking for Sac Bug O Rama and So Cal Bug In info and I remember that article. It is in the Apr 78 issue on page 52. Not sure why this would need to be done, but it looks like if you had the means to do it, it would be cool when completed.

There was a similar article in Volkswagen Greats magazine in the late '70s. It was about a college team that entered a contest to build a vehicle that could go 50 mph and get 50 mpg. While other teams had big budgets and built fancy machines, this one team built a 2-cylinder Volkswagen on a shoestring and placed very well in the competition.

I think that I have every issue of Hot VWs from about 1978 or so onward. And I have written articles published in the monthly "Transporter Talk" column in over 110 of those issues since around 2004.

I have most of the issues of VW Trends magazine also. In beefing up both collections I have ended up with a LOT of duplicates, close to 100 or so far. One of these days I'll get organized and figure out a convenient way to sell those off...

Does anyone know if there is a searchable index of Hot VW articles. I recently bought a flatbed which had a CA VW TONKA license plate. It was alleged that the car appeared in the magazine. Thanks.

You can look at the cover and contents for each issue, its slow as they have to be opened individually.

Here is a cover photo of the Hot VWs magazine, July 2002.

If someone has this back issue, does it mention anything about the Hebmuller VW on the cover Question Question
