LOL, Just could not stay away could you!

I'm not sure that I can explain the VW attraction, and how it gets into peoples blood. This weekend we will be racing at the VW Bug In #35 and many old racers are now restoring their old race cars back to original for show. Two cars were shipped (back) over from England for this show/race that were originally raced at Orange County International Raceway in the 70's. One of our local specialty tool manufacturers is SP tools, Schley Products in Anaheim. The two brothers got into the tool business through their VW gasser racing efforts during the 1960's and 70's. I just saw their newly restored 1970 dragster at the header shop that they will be showing this weekend, very nice. All of their cars were called the Lightning Bug and were metalic blue.

Don, here's some advice from an old timer. First, you picked the right year to restore. 1967 or earlier is a "good rule of thumb" so you can get you money out of it when you sell. The early cars will always have a much higher resale demand. Also, don't bother with after market steel fenders, they do not fit, are thin, and require a ton of rework. Search for originals, and fix them, a stainless shrinking disk works wonders. There is a company down your way called Creative Fiberglass (or close to that) that makes the best quality parts by far, fit is as good as O.E.
