Welcome Sarge,
Great people here. Tell us about your nice looking car.

Thanks, Randy! Wellll... as for the car, it's a '67 my wife and I have owned since 1984. I bought it off the Used Car lot at Cotton Goff VW where I was working as a Parts Tech for $2000.
Needless to say, it looked nothing like it does now but it was a straight, one-owner car. My wife commuted to work in it for 100,000 miles and we drove it on plenty of dirt roads in the
mountains and deserts before restoring it in 1989. The paint and body-work were handled by Becker's Bug House in Orange... no name for the shade of red other then BRIGHT-ASS red.
Quality Auto Upholstery in Bloomington did the interior. I built the engine myself in 1990... 78.4 Mance crank, 90.5 Cima's, Engle 125 cam, Fumio ported the heads. The trans uses stock
ratios with a 4:12 ring and pinion and was built by Jim Kaforski at Der Trans Axle. Brakes are CSP discs in front and Type III rears on short axles with Sway-Away adjustable spring plates
and 25mm rear torsion bars. The wheels are Flat 4 knock-offs polished by Al Reed in Anaheim. Exhaust is by Tiger at A1 in Santa Ana... "stepped" 1 1/2 to 1 5/8 primaries with a Magna
Flow muffler. I like a stock fuel pump, points and condenser, too... let the bashing begin!
