Bitchin' ride...
Hey I dont live too far from you...do you ever bring your rides out? I'm head of a good sized car club and we do cruise nights in the Arnold area. Hardly ever see any VWs there.

thanks guys!

The beam is a 5 1/2 inch narrowed beam with adjusters and drop spindles. The beam was built by thesamba member Slowlow
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1093146
The rear is just stock plates notched. I have a set of notched extended plates but I didnt want to sorce different tosion bars.

The car will look so much better once I blend that front apron and drivers rear quarter.

Hello sir. Great looking car. What color is that? Do you know? Hope you don't mind, but I have a lid off my '54 which I am not using... with nice patina. I think it is reed green. If it is a match I might be persuaded to let it go to such a nice project Wink

I appreciate the offer but I believe it is prairie beige. At least I hope it is, that is the color I bought for blending lol
