The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

The battery switch was looking a little unfinished so I contacted Joe at JBE. He milled me this one-off Billet bezel to high light the switch before http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/964900.jpg http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/964898.jpg after http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/p...

Just love using my Baileigh bead roller on numerous projects. So decided to customize the fuel tank just a bit more with a custom top panel- http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1335346.jpg http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1335345.jpg http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1335343.j...

While I was in the fabbing mood, I couldn't leave the fuel tank out of some mild customization. So I installed a flush mount "pop up" fuel filler- http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1335354.jpg http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1335353.jpg http://images.thesamba.com/vw/galle...

Haven't been updating, but have been keeping busy doing minor tweaks. Fab'd up a set of trunk gusset covers out of Aluminum sheet- http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1335339.jpg http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1335338.jpg http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1335337.jpg http://...

Custom fabricated carburetor linkage from JBE. Arms, hardware & heims all polished Stainless Steel

Refinished the tins in Wrinkle Black & installed a MST Billet alternator stand

Are our projects ever really "done?" Here's what my wife's vert looks like today. But will be adding more details in the near future

Finally found a few minutes to install the Berg 51mm carburetors http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1206354.jpg http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1206353.jpg Now Im thinking I need to refinish the tins in Black & get one of those Billet Aluminum alternator stands (Anodized in red ...

Installed a CB Performance Magnaspark II ignition system

Added a Fast Fab Cruiser pedal. Black Anodized w/ Red pad to match the interior

Installed a set of CB Performance dropped spindles. And gave the rear end a 3-1/2" drop

Got the rear braking system dialed in

Kevin @ CoolRydes Creations supplied the car with 11-inch drilled rotors for all 4 corners

Always changing thing up. Decided to switch out the 4-inch narrowed beam with a 3-inch powdercoated version. Courtesy of Randee @ Randar Wheels for hooking it up. While I was at it, got the trailing arms powdercoated and a fresh set of ball joints pressed in http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix...
