Here's a shot from the back. The car has the solid silver BRMs.

I have all the build photos for this one, and there's been a few changes/additions since these pictures were taken. I followed an article in a 1973 issue of Volkswagen Greats magazine on how to do an NHRA-legal chop.

Thanks. I rarely look in the "off topic" forum. (Because anything VW related shouldn't be off topic ... )

Well, the results are in after Saturday's drawing:

1st prize, the Meyers Manx, is taking up residence with Brad and his family, formerly in Australia, now in Valley Center CA

2nd prize, the awesome 'car guy' birdhouse, is headed to Roy in Glen Allen VA

I won't have the actual figure until the last PayPal transfer is complete(later today or tomorrow), but it looks like the raffle has netted just over $2100 in less than 4 months' time. I'd like to thank everybody who contributed to and supported the raffle, for helping make my silly idea a huge success.

Even though most of them aren't here on TheSamba, these are the people who helped get the ball rolling and get the prizes together as well: Scott Lavigne, Marc Nellis, Hideo Motohashi, Bruce & Winnie Meyers, Bob Smith and his crew at Mohawk Valley Railroad(my LHS), Gregg Hutchings and Model Cars Magazine, Kinko's in Saratoga Springs NY. Last, but certainly not least, my wife Jennifer and our boys Dominic and Luciano for tolerating me and my dune buggy nonsense.
