This month's Feature Volkswagen gets an A+ for homemade patina. Thomas, a new owner to the VW scene writes, "This is my 1968 Beetle I've owned for about 7 months. New to the air cooled world but it's definitely become my favorite. My dad had a couple Beetles back in the day and it's a hobby we do together now. I bought the car for only $500, which wasn't too bad. Not too much rust except for one heater channel and inside the rear fenders. Which I repaired by just welding in a piece of steel. It's has a stock 1500cc single port engine, 2" narrowed adjustable beam (set as low as it will go) with 2 1/2" drop spindles. The front is on air shocks controlled by switches that I'm still working on with a one gallon tank and a small compressor." Read - A Long Way To Go >>

Ever wonder how to get that 2021 sound into a Vintage VDub? Let JBugs show you how! They write, "Speaker Kick Panels are our favorite way to mount front speakers in Vintage VWs. The fiberglass panels are simple to install and are offered for Standard Beetles, Super Beetles, Karmann Ghias and Type 3 models. To help improve the sound of our speakers we also installed Hushmat Wave Breakers to prevent back wave distortion. Follow along as our tech installs a set of Fiberglass Speaker Kick Panels and a pair of Kicker KS Series, 6.5” Speakers in our 1971 Super Beetle Restoration."

May is here and so is VolksWoman! Lois Grace writes, "There was a commercial out now, for Toyota, that said (in part) when does a car stop being a car and become part of the family??? I guess this is supposed to prompt people to start thinking about their vehicles as more than machines, and treat them more like a treasured family pet. Toyota thinks this is a NEW idea? From this commercial, it would seem as though the world is just now discovering what we VW owners have known all along. Our cars aren't just machines, they are more than just a hobby, and they have personalities. WOW. What a concept." Read - The Family Pet >>
