Here's the latest pic s of my bug. I swapped the trailng arms side to side to un-camber the rear. Now the tires rub the fenders though. Gonna have to widen the rear fenders a tiny bit.

Not exactly a "Rat Rod", either one of them, but this is vwfye's Notchback, and my Oval sunroof, together about 1/8 mile from my house...
His has a 1904 cc engine, mine is a 2017 with Weber 48 IDA carbs and a bunch of other go-fast stuff...Last edited by 26Tudor; 01-28-2008 at 03:02 PM.

Walt, I am not going to make it. if I have the time, I don't have the $$, and if I have the $$, I don't have the time.
I've about the the cooling and electrical figured out, with the misaligned pulleys, and etc, so the next problem-solving area will be the steering.. I think I'm going to be using an old Oval sterring column tube, it's straight, no extra crap on it, and fits the T wheel fairly well...
So, you gonna sell Titus your son's pickemup?

It kinda depends on whether he calls me back or not. Don and I have talked about it and if he wants to pay half what it's worth, well probably sell it.Give me something to cut with, I'm going to build a Hotrod

No worries, Brian, thanks for the help, regardless.... finding stuff up here isn't as easy as you might originally think...
I'm in no hurry for the hose, I still have the water pump, pulleys, radiator, and shell off the car while I figure out how to make everything line up, work, and not interfere with other parts...

I'm a new guy but I enjoy the Volksrod style. I'm collecting parts for one right now. Should be a pretty cheap ride that will be somewhat different from the crowd.
