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

I reckon LMS engineering should sponsor your car after all the wonderful exposure you've given them
Looks tough as nails even in an unfinished state!! Good luck with the motivation!!

Thank's all, maybe around 2 to 3 week's before the finger is completely dislodged Matt, once I get my garage back it will be all systems go.
John it all started way back, you know me can't half do it n if there is a way of complicating something I'll find it  n Dave has alway's said no one can polish as good as you can.
