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.
