Another Triple D project! Coool! Man who hasn't had one or wanted a bug! In high school my friend Andre use to drive us around in a two tone lime green bus, that had a bad starter. We'd all get out and push it as fast as we could , Andre pop the clutch and then gun it with us all running after the van diving into the side door!:LOL:
Good times are associated with those cars!
Old bugs rock :D Here is mine from my younger years:LOL:
Good looking bug, almost a twin of the one Dan had. His was lime green, with the stinger exhaust too. :D:D

I've never owned a "Bug" but I bought one of these back in the mid-60's to
haul our Country Rock Band's equipment around. When we finally signed a
management contract and decided to go on the road, the agency suggested
that I get a more appropriate means of hauling the equipment.
I wonder what they meant by appropriate??? :LOL:

Gotta love those VW's, I must have had at least 6-8 Beetles, had 4 van's including a 23 window w/a canvas sunroof(wish I still had that) but I can honestly say I had the most fun in our 63 & 65 Notchback's.
Here's our 65...

Everyone has a story about bugs,I gotta admit,that they are certainly vehicle that attracts attention..Back in the late 80s/early 90s,I built a few Cal look beetles for a few people,including a top chopped 66 for a friend with a VW repair and import business..Will see if I can find some pix..If I didnt have so much to do around here,I would keep an eye out for a suitable car,but lets not go there,,,I might end up on my own again..:LOL:
Don,that little project car Dan has on the trailer,looks to be in good shape,hasnt suffered with the rot,like a bug,sorry,big percentage down here...not that there are too many to be found here now anyway...Hope he has a bit of fun with it..:D
Don .... check this guy out from the HAMB .... he's big into the bug scene:

Hey,they are kool,I would own either of them,except,that when we go anywhere for a weekend or three days,I am married..remember??:Donly enough room for a couple of small bags..:LOL:Unfortunately,we have a VERY biased bunch of rodders down here,and Volks rods,are only for the thick skinned....:(,but I am used to going against the grain,so yeah,I would have one...Maybe after the Cusso,and the Galaxie....:D
