1976 standard bug

Looking sick, man!
I actually liked the big meaty wheels/tires as well. If you lowered it like crazy with those and had a nice big stinger this thing would be unbelievable.

If I go that route I have to tub out the rear. Cuz there isn't a lot of clearance haha

dont quit nick. dont do it.

Did you check to see if the heat tube flanges on the new exhaust go into the exhaust pipes. I bought an empi exhaust and found out that they welded in the flanges for the heat tubes and never drilled them out. Made for a huge bog down right off Idle. That and the 009 distributor mad it nearly undrivable off idle.

Nah the exhaust didn't bolt up to that. Don't think it's a problem though

If you get a bog just off Idle, look at that first. I'ts a big deal on the stock carb engines. Or you could go dual carb.

Here is the video that always inspires me to build one, so maybe it will inspire you to finish it. I'm sure you've seen this, but its sweet nonetheless

Video inspires me to look for another one again.

I liked the fat rear tires look. When can I see this thing in person?
