Title: Making my way back.
Post by: Shane on April 15, 2021, 01:51:54 am
After a long (20 years) hiatus I’m making my way back into a vw. Some may remember me most don’t. I built this 66 after spending a weekend at the classic and running around with Dave Conklin and members of the DKPIII. The car had a 2276, FK8, Rimco case, Art Thraen  48’IDA’s, Denham heads, the trans axle shop box, and the list goes on. I made a mistake and sold the car.

It’s been so long since I’ve had a vw I’m like a brand new baby. I bought a solid 64 sun roof vw so I’ll be around. I’ll have lots of questions. It’s good to be back in a VW.

Welcome back. The 66 looked awesome so can't wait to see how the 64 sunroof turns out.

Fill in the sunroof and chop it.
In 10 years convert it to battery powered.  ::)
