[@TonyVervilos]

Nice job! I've owned many VWs since the 80's and still love them to this day. Thanks for preserving an iconic car

[@ebigford34]

[@lookingthroughice7843]

Holy shit that is so killer, i would love to have this sweet ride. Job well done. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻

[@ahernandez9860]

Incredible detail

[@volkstroke]

Glad you think so!

[@socaljarhead7670]

You guys need to open a shop here in Orange County. More Bugs here than you can shake a stick at and plenty of money to go around to spend it on them!

[@jasonk4566]

Sick af..👍

[@socaljarhead7670]

All it needs is a Carl’s Jr. table marker in the right corner of the windshield to be complete.

[@James-js6dx]

nice 👍🏿

[@larrypeeples614]

Nice 👍

[@volkstroke]

Thanks ✌

[@jeraldgoff6475]

That's a bad ass motor

[@angelosmyth7186]

*This* Bug is absolute perfection. Oval window - check. Wheels / tires / stance - check. Killer drivetrain - check. What color is that? I love that it's understated and not "loud". Goes awesome with interior color. I seriously *need* an oval window bug. Had a 57 many years ago and regret selling it. This is fantastic work and would love to see it in-person one day!

[@volkstroke]

Think is sapphire blue

[@volkstroke]

Thanks it’s really a nice pice

[@carson7223]

This bug is just perfect man

[@volkstroke]

[@bsu1960]

This is so beautiful what a work of Art and it would be an honor to own such a fine machine I saw the short and now I have a new dream car

[@MrSociallyDistrted]

I keep seeing more details on this build… that rear brake setup is on point! Who built it?

[@volkstroke]

It’s an old set up most aren’t like this anymore the floating caliper style is going away for rigid set ups now days

[@douglasstewart4578]

There we go! Good stuff....

[@volkstroke]

thank you its totally about reliability and comfort a car the simply works for years to come

[@custombug74]

Amazing work again guys!!!

[@volkstroke]

Thanks again!

[@SNR_Hawaii]

Beautiful car and sound

[@ArthurSperotto]

It came out beautiful!! Where do you like to go for alignments on these classics? I haven't found a shop I trust yet...

[@volkstroke]

I do it myself

[@danohara2211]

Nice work David, car came out killer👍🏻miss that ida sound. Some day I will do another vw

Niceness LUV ❤️ ALONE ❤RASTAFORI

[@MarkBarton-m9u]

Hi David - love the channel. What size tires in the front here? I am surprised the stock beam still allows the front wheels inside the fender.

[@volkstroke]

135 firestones

[@witcher71]

This thing is Badass! Ditch the narrowed beam!

[@volkstroke]

We did buddy

[@davidaraujo3475]

What a car! What is the transmission? Is it the original or has it been modified?

[@volkstroke]

Well modified we installed it too

[@Tonyboloni1210]

200hp is plenty. I got a 1914cc pushing around 120hp it would be a dream to get it up to 200. Whats your guys rates and is there a website?

[@volkstroke]

There’s a 1914 build I did

[@67herby89]

Car came out amazing. A true dream car, I would trade my convertible for that any day. What did you come up with after all 2 or 4 inch beam?

[@volkstroke]

Stock

[@Juniorspeed-hl2si]

Lindo carro,me tire uma dúvida a tampa do motor aberta em baixo ajuda a refrigeração ou é melhor deixar aberta em cima? Obrigado um abraço 👍

[@volkstroke]

The top looks ugly to me

[@Juniorspeed-hl2si]

@@volkstroke também acho 😅😅

[@bykr2009]

Good info! What size are those front tires? Also what was your source for the midmount and rear engine support? Thanks!

[@volkstroke]

We make the mounts and the tires are 135f560 series

[@tobyclinard8287]

What Cam and what size valves did you use to make that kind of HP. Love Your Channel

[@volkstroke]

It’s a 44x37.5 head with very nice chambers it’s my combos and my previous racing combos that lived and I modified to make the HP at low RpM

[@darrellowensjr7030]

How do you keep the engine from rocking? What type of mounts do you use?

[@volkstroke]

The engine doesn’t rock. Because it’s balanced and tuned

[@hieroglyph321]

Which airport are you flying that thing from and when is departure?!

[@volkstroke]

Hmm the John Wayne

[@anotherbody2]

What is the bore and stroke of the engine and who is the manufacturer of the crank and piston-cylinders?

[@volkstroke]

94 mahlie pistons on a 82 mm DPR T4 center main crank and BMW bearing I can sell you the parts

[@vurlmcpherson5266]

Just let me know how much the you want for the bug if you can take so much a month on the bug

[@volkstroke]

hmmm but I am not selling the car brother

[@yeffblanco]

I have a beater 66 Ghia, for 30 years. I kept it side yard last 15 years, too dangerous as a daily driver & I ride own motorcycles.

[@volkstroke]

Love it bring it down

[@HoboHeaven]

Specs would be good to know. What Carbs 48 or 52?

[@volkstroke]

Running on 48s done by GEERS and the engine is a 2276cc with German crank t4centet main wedged on German flywheel mahlie pistons forged internals and scat rods and rockers web cam magnum gears and on and on motor got some money in it

[@jeraldgoff6475]

I have a motor waiting for me my guy out here in the desert has a believe it's a 2318 or 2338 he runs Kens transmission he does a lot of sand rail stuff he's usually booked all year for his trannies I would like to find a bug again soon I'll have the money to buy one again I'd rather own a bug with big motor and a good trans slam it or maybe bag it I'd rather have that then a 700 car payment plus I would be way cooler too im 56

[@volkstroke]

Yes sir gotta love old paid for cars that don’t depreciate

[@JMC8415]

What's the build sheet on that engine?

Too narrow of a beam, looks wierd. Keep the Alloyds though!

[@volkstroke]

Yes sir

[@niallmaxwell8035]

Do you know the colour code?

[@volkstroke]

No

[@LuizCezarCleveston-zg3li]

My dream is an engine like that, I already have the Beetle 🤣 🤌🏻😍🚀

[@volkstroke]

Yes sir takes time and buying things little by little

[@LuizCezarCleveston-zg3li]

@@volkstroke Here in Brazil our purchasing power is very limited... it takes about 10 years to make an engine like this
