Welcome long time VW-head Tony Mace, aka RACEHEAD! I used to buy VW stuff from this guy back before I had a driver's license at Buggy House, long before I worked there. Tony.... when are we going to put together a fast street car for you?

Yeah late model beetles are very worthy candidates for the cal-look.

BACK IN THE DAY - I STARTED IN ABOUT 1970 WORKING ON THESE CARS - MY DAD OWNED A SHOP IN SAN LEANDRO - BUG HOSPITAL - WE DID PARTS, MACHINE WORK, ENGINE BUILDING, AND FULL REPAIR SHOP - HE BUILT A CLEAN 1970 BUG - 2180cc WITH A RAJAY TURBO KIT - SEMI CAL LOOK - BUT FAST...... STILL TO THIS DAY I LIKE LATE MODLES - BUT A NICE CLEAN PRE-68 WOULD BE OK TOO.
