My Drag Bug.........time to finish it.

mike64 · 2013-02-03T12:09:34+00:00

As some of you know I've been yakin about this car for some year's, other's maybe not. Then there are other's that know this is the 3rd attempt of building my own car from the mide 80's, when I got hooked on drag racing. I have been lucky to have the chance to drive a couple tube chassie bug's for Dave Stoker over the last 15 or so years's, but I've alway's wanted that car of my own. The only pic,s I have are a fair way into the project. This Project started out with a motor I couldn't knock back. Then I picked up a 1965 Beetle to stick it in. Of course the plan was a big motor, a gearbox that could put up with the motor n my right foot, n a stock looking bug......... well as you will see the thing got out of hand as it progressed.

You need some more carpet on the floor Mike!

By the way that clock you gave me didn't fit the Ghia so I chucked it. Probably a shame because you had it working well!
