Just found a great (cal look) VW related thread on a hot rod & kustom message board... Check it out, there are some famous names, cool pics and stories to be discovered.

interesting prespectives

[Black Sheep]

Interesting read , a begrudging respect can be seen there in place's 

[vwcab]

very nice.........appreciation from the "HOTROD"-boys.   

the same hobby but different cars.

[Dez]

Wow it's amazing how many of them have had a Bug / VW somewhen in their lives

[Sarge]

At least they acknowledge VW's over there.... the H.A.M.B. looks at our community like dirt under their fingernails.  There's no place like home, though and that's The Lounge!

[Bryan67]

Really? I`m the hamb though mostly as a lurker and nobody gives me any grief. In fact, there is at least on VW thread. The people on Losboulevardos.com are cool too.

[Luftkraft]

Thanks everyone for checking out out board and seeing that we are TOTALLY more open-minded than the "other" boards. Stupid to think a bunch of LONG TERM hot rodders don't have a liking for Volkswagens. I think the guys that don't appreciate them generally haven't been doing it very long. Posting a littl more background in another post. Thanks! Jim

I really have a problem trying to see there point of view.
What a bunch of total SNOBS.
The best (probably worst) analogy I can make from their point of view is this:
I also belong to a forum for machinists/welders ... the Hotrod forum point of view is if I were to post that I cannot and will not answer to or suggest information to another welder that doesn't own a newer, high frequency welding machine as they don't have the machinery/equipment to make constructive comments/questions worthy of my time.

Just my point of view. I guess I shouldn't have read the post, although I appreciate the authors attempt.
I think I'll drive my Beetle to the next local 'HotRod' show just to raise some Hell.

[Jim Aust]

WHOAAAAAA!!! We had NO ANIMOSITY or ill feeling in our forum. Don't know where it got derailed. We like Volkswagens and look forward to building a bond between the two boards. Thanks Jim

[TexasTom]

I understand, Jim.
But, I read it a couple times and the are some with a more narrow the point of view I speak of.
I can't think of near anything cooler than building an early to mid sixties Gasser replica or a '32 HiBoy, so I'm wide open from my point of view as well.
But, I've been involved witha nd HotRodding a certain '69 Bug for over 30 years ...
Hope you see where I coming from.
