X2, have known Pep and his family for 30+ years, a very cool guy with a high level of building cars. This car is another one under his belt. They only get better.

Sewfine is listed for the interior. Is this the outfit out of Texas and if so was this a kit? Anyone else have experience with Sewfine??

Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: Rick Meredith on June 18, 2012, 04:38:24 am It was great seeing Pep! Car or no car... but that 66 is really sweet!
Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: Troy Palmer on June 18, 2012, 05:16:28 am Great to see Pep behind the wheel again. I was talking with him and Damon at the Jambo last August and he dropped a few hints that he might be building another car. The car has a lot of detail and everything is finished to the Amigo high standard.
Job well done! Troy Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: Cornpanzer on June 18, 2012, 13:21:51 pm Wow, what a nice looking ride. Typical Pep. Clean and unique.
Where did the black oval go? I didnt recall that he had sold it. Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: javabug on June 18, 2012, 13:58:34 pm I might have seen the black oval re-listed on Samba a while ago, in Hawaii? That car was great (black oval), it really looked like a hot rod.
Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: ST DRAGN on June 18, 2012, 18:48:59 pm It was really good to see Pep and his clean 66 sedan out and about…It’s always a big plus when Ray has his hands on the motor..
Great job guy’s.. Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: Fritter on June 19, 2012, 00:21:12 am Very nice, love the interior. The motor looks mean.

Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: Ben67 on June 20, 2012, 02:21:07 am Yup it's Ruby red, at least that the color code for '66 that was used. But I agree it's a bit darker and similar to garnet red.
Was talking with Jose today, he's kinda overwelled. The car came out nicer than anticipated, he wanted to build just a nice driver. Then..well you see how the story ends. He's did an awesome job. Also his brother was responsible for the running gear and tuning. The car runs really nice Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: Kaferdog on June 20, 2012, 08:24:08 am I don't know, but are those steel 911 wheels for sale?

Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: DKK Ted on September 14, 2012, 05:20:36 am His car needs to be in a mag....for sure...front cover! There needs to be a photo shoot, for sure. Any car that they touched in the past, always came out bitchen. My 2nd 67' came from "Pep", paint job AND car. That ride was sweet. As for Ray! He still has his touch. Right ON Ray!

Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: vwhelmot on January 19, 2016, 23:03:16 pm Nice. It needs the rear wheels spacing out a bit though to make it perfect
Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: Jim Ratto on January 20, 2016, 00:23:09 am Cool pictures Sarge. I love how simple Jose's engine compartment came out. Reminds me of Dumper's motor.
Title: Re: "Pep" Jose Medrano debut 66' at the VW Classic Post by: Zach Gomulka on January 20, 2016, 06:15:11 am Nice. It needs the rear wheels spacing out a bit though to make it perfect Agreed.
