Fantastic bug.

I used to have a '67 that I restored back in 2002, I won 2nd place for daily driver at a Bug In show too.

I miss it a lot sometimes, but it has a good home at my friends parents

been thinking about picking up one to work on over the years..

Sweet bug. You should have asked to trade wheels with the orange rust bug next to you. Those wheels would actually look pretty sweet on your car.

Wow, some nice bugs for sure! I love the yellow fogs, that color combo really makes them stand out. If it were my choice I'd say go with the Porsche wheels or get some Panasports!

BTW, that blue rear oval next to your car is beautiful!!

Rudy, that thing is bad. You are running Webs on that thing? How are those to tune? A lot of the guys I was friends with were running the Del Ortos. When I was younger, I was a VW fanatic.

BTW, I would run the BRMs, or Riveras. Honestly though, I like the wheel set up you have. They might even look sweet painted off white.

Very clean looking bug man. Is that a stock paint color? Growing up my dad had a '67 for a daily driver, and the color was very similar if not the same to yours, I learned how to drive stick in it when I was 14, then he sold it!
