The brand new Empi torsion arms are nice!

Franz… did EMPI use decent ball joints in these? Probably hard to tell until they get some miles on them.

I love following beetle builds here. They go fast and are fun to watch, especially builds with some flavor, CalLook flavor!

I hit up Franz a while back. Inquired if KCW could assist with some metal work on this one as the project was stalled and my time to work on it was limited. KCW was pretty slammed at the time. I’m glad actually, because it made me buckle down and finish the metal work with a buddy. The car was never wrecked, just rusty. Full package tray from rear glass seal down to pan bolts, both lower A-pillars, right side heater channel and other misc typical rust spots on fenders and doors. It’s all finally done now and it’s wearing several coats of single stage Centari Zenith Blue. So happy to have finally turned this corner!

It has been some time since we did a Deluxe!!! was the last one Parkers 21?? I don’t recall, is this rig going all stock?

That’s been a tough question for me John. My first bus was a lowered 21 window, and the personality of that thing was just so much fun. For this one I’m thinking stock but with engine and transmission upgrades to make her highway safe. I’m definitely open to ideas. Chime in everyone!

Couldn’t hurt to lower is some with modern tires to go along with the engine/trans upgrades.

I put one of those in the RHD 67. It was a nice fitting piece for the most part.

Their website doesn’t have products listed. Where are these available from?

I’m impressed by this collaboration. I wonder if they’ll stop any better than a factory caliper. I’d still rather have the four piston version.

I’ve been using a diesel starter on my Notchback since I built it. It’s one of the best upgrades you can do. I’ll do it do every air-cooled VW I own. They’re also self supporting so no starter bushing to wear out.

Hell of deal…. I dunno if it would sell that cheap… but I know it was over $50K to build it….

Dammit! I wish I would’ve known that a few months ago. I had a money tree there for a minute!  Love that car.

I’m sure it would take many bends to just reroute the whole header system away from the fan intake.
