Pity that pic wasn't taken a bit further back and to the left a bit , would have been cool to get another pic of the two splits  |

I'll post some more things on Monday about my car. But this weekend it's off to Phoenix for the Bugorama with Hunsaker and Fleming!

Hi Mike, so nice to read more storys and see unseen pic`s. Please keep us updated. Your split is/was one of the "true-est" lookers in my point of view. Best Greetings! |

I made the t bars. They are actually from a 356 Porsche. I like that they were a little fated and the upper portion was pretty short. I cut off the lower portion right about where they started to curve under the body, then re - drilled the mounting holes. I wanted the bars to sit close to the body.

" I like that they were a little fated " Sorry dude you'll have to translate  they were one of the first little details I noticed about that car, They actually look like they could be used to push the car if needed - I always wondered how they were made and now I can see - thanks Ed |

Didn't Bob McClure run something similar to those t-bars on his turbo'd drag beetle? I'm sure he had thicker t-bars... Speedwell, you have a picture to confirm (or deny!)?

I prefered the 356 bars as they were shorter and angled to the body a little more. Plus I re-drilled so they also sata little closer to the fenders too.

Okay, I'm a little late to the party, as usual. But is that a Cal Look sticker on the ¼ window on your green Split, Ed? The picture with the surfers in the background.

Looks like a DCK sticker to me Fred... but I might be wrong (See, I'm still on the Lounge 2000 mi. from home ) ~Dave |

The pic with the surfers and the gold 8 spokes was after I sold it, so I can't say for sure about the decals.
