Adam is a local guy to me. I actually met him a couple of years ago when he dropped by my place to check out a bug I had for sale.
I've spoken with him a few times since then about a crank and rods. Genuinely a good guy.
I was finally able to put some money in his pocket this past week.
I ordered one of his "Ultimate in Full Flow" kits.
I can honestly say this is by far the highest quality full flow set up I have ever seen.
Everything is billet and CNC machined. The hole in the cover is the same size as the hose which is the same size of the tapped hole in the case. No restriction from the hole in the cover which I have seen many times before. Not only that but the hole in the cover is angled for better flow. The oil filter adapter is machined in such a way that the oil doesn't just pour into the filter, it follows a groove which lets it flow more efficiently with less restriction. The fittings are top quality as is the hose.
If you need a full slow set up for any reason, I recommend this one over every other one on the market... yea... even over Berg.
Keep up the good work Adam! |

Got an ultimate full flow kit from Adam a while ago now, outstanding quality and great service. I think his full flow cover is better than Berg _________________ Aust. RHD 66 Type 1

Ordered some parts from Adam along with his Seward Speed Shop oil pump cover. I was very impressed with the quality of the part. Shipping was fast and communication was great. Looking forward to doing more business with him. _________________ 1968 Ghia Land Speed Car

Good engine builders are hard to come by, especially in the Midwest. I had Adam build me a 2276 Turbo Motor. The engine is done and I am awaiting my trans from Rancho now. The engine is on a start stand and it sounds awesome. Can't wait to get it in my '66 and terrorize all the Camaros and Corvettes on the street! It did take a while to get done though, but we were awaiting on he turbo ordered from AJ. 6 weeks = 6 months. |

I have known Adam for a few years or more. He is very knowlegable and capable mechanic.
I Bought a motor for the pyrobus from Adam and he has been very helpful getting the motor installed and operating perfectly. Now the motor has over twenty five thousand miles and still looks new.
I also bought a carb for a 1961 beetle I have and it worked out awesome.
He just finished up a single port rebuild on my so-67 camper and it looks perfectly stock and runs very smooth.
I can recomend the Seward Speed Shop with confidence! I know quality when I see it!
Thanks for all the great deals!

I just bought a distributor drive pinion from Adam. Nice, clean part. As close to new as you could ask for. Packed it well, shipped it quickly & great communication. I'll buy from him again if he has what I need. |

Great guy to deal with! Called him about a pop out window frame, no answer and left a message. Figured it was going to be like a lot of other sellers with no return call. Not only did he return my call he took the time to talk VW's with me, very friendly and knowledgeable. I wish all sellers were like him.
Window frame was in great shape as listed, he packaged it very well, shipped it out quickly, awesome transaction!

Adam is very easy to deal with. I bought a used 36hp crankshaft from him, and it was in excellent condition, just like he said. Shipping was fast and reasonable, and the communication was excellent. Guys like Adam are what make the Samba such a great place. |
