The car is in the latest Hot VWs. Seems like the BC owner passed away shortly after the article was written. Sad. |

I'm getting ready to do the dauphine on bug chassis on this '57 I found. I have a '64 pan that I will use underneath. Have several questions, do you have to narrow the rear torsion or can you get it to fit stock width?
