I think that car was very under rated, Maybe because it hit the seen and sold very quick. Both ryon and work mate aron at the time both had unreal built cars. Both guys also build some real nice hot rod stuff. Just my 2 1/2 cents

Yep, same guy. I think the cars were built at about the same time, too.

Here a bad pic of them together.... This is at DKP Cruise night, Aaron's first trip out w/ the green '57. it had a crowd around it all night. Ryan's car did as well, but I think they had all seen it before.  |

"Properly" is subject to interpretation, which is really the spice of life in the VW hobby. |

Aaron has his own shop now, not sure what Ryan's doing now. http://www.foothillfabrication.com/Here's Aaron's Hub Garage page. There's almost more on it than his web site. http://www.hubgarage.com/mygarage/FoothillFab/vehicles |

aarons car is a piece of artwork for sure.one thing that puzzles me though is the solid mounting and the really short gearbox pretty much the same as my own car.theres so much torque in that motor does it really need a gearbox that does 49mph at 3000rpm? i mean its a sort of hotrod beetle.the guys building hot rods dont stick a really short gear in it because they like to drive miles on the freeway  aarons car also has a welded in midmount.i know it could be changed but its alot of work when its that pretty under there. |
