I know I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released movies online ?

[@nathanielcruz4364]

@Lance Alexzander Lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@marccruz5765]

@Nathaniel Cruz Yup, been watching on FlixZone for since march myself :)

[@lancealexzander7416]

@Nathaniel Cruz thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!

[@nathanielcruz4364]

@Lance Alexzander You are welcome =)

[@kukko83]

Never thought it would sound this good. A really cool little gasser!

[@tonygallo8570]

You absolutely did a wonderful job customizing this car it's one of a kind and I'm sure you had lots of fun doing it good for you

[@Deviation4360]

To all the commenters who are perplexed by this engines sound, it's really quite simple. The two crankshafts have been phased by 90 degrees, meaning one crank is turned through another 90 degrees relative to the other before it is bolted to the flex plate joining them. The VW crankshafts cannot be phased in any other way with this set up to fire 8 separate times. Alternatively the engines can run as a simultaneous pair with the same cylinder in each engine firing together, which would sound no different to usual. So excited to see someone do this to a pair of siamesed four cylinder engines. This is the way all eight cylinder engines should sound !!!!

[@joeleyendecker5346]

Great job!!! Love the imagination... Just listening to it will fool you into believing there's a v8 under the hood. It's definitely one of a kind... Probably never been another one....

[@davidmellen-g5m]

I'm extremely IMPRESSED Ron.. I finally got my project! Well one of 20 car's I would like to find.

[@lennsoderlund4476]

I'm getting some rad henry j vibes from this wicked build. Love it!

[@csj9619]

That is insane! It combines a bunch of my favorite things: VeeDubs, straightaxles, panel job paint and goin' fast.

[@prostreetgsxr]

That is amazing! This guy is a genius to make that set up work. I wish Ron Howe was my neighbor!!

[@adamweston4152]

Now that's class, a lovely looking car and the engineering is fantastic, hat's off to him.

[@sumfun9639]

You did a wonderful job on this, kudos!

[@SuperMotolove]

You’re awesome! I so appreciate your doing this car.Very imaginative,very creative, don’t see something like this every day! God bless you!

[@michaeltaylor8835]

A masterpiece. Brilliant Enjoy

[@winstondoc2009]

I met Ron this past April at the Buggorama here in Phoenix, and when I tell you, Ron is a great guy. I've never seen or heard of this car, and told him when I first saw it sitting, I passed it by thinking it was a V8 powered type 3. A buddy introduced me to him that day, and this guy is down to earth, and started this beast up for me, and a crowd gathered instantly, talk about awsome!

[@leeswift4967]

You did one hell of a good job, my family has had a vw obsession for years, sounds good.

[@damienveals7641]

I’m in love. The way it sounds is perfect lol

[@billyjack4223]

I love your Square-back Gasser I bought a brand new VW Fastback in 1969 and owned a Square-back latter on.

[@mikecrystalrobert7898]

Some go Ls this guy goes twin vw engine pretty neat piece of automotive history u got there job well done

[@DaveBuildsIt]

The sound blows my mind.

[@CoolCarVideo]

Ya that thing was wicked

[@McBuggs.]

Indeed, it sounds like a V8 but visually a flat 8 - very cool!

[@brsrc759]

Amazing build! That's trippy it totally sounds like a big V8 when it's idling but when he punches it you can definitely tell it's a v dub

[@razortreadway]

I dunno, from inside when he hits it it sounds like some sort of high rev racing V8

[@griffinoneal1856]

I haven’t smiled so hard in years.... Awesome build.....👍🏻

[@artan8664]

Wow just a super cool build

[@mauryamckendrick5446]

That is just a beautiful car! There is so much going on yet it is clean and supper simple at the same time. That front clam shell and how it opens up is flawless!! I absolutely love builds like this and how the owner was the one that did basically everything on it. Amazing car my dude!!

[@markhalden3922]

Original comment was for another vid on this. Awesome build

[@frankmcnab522]

The baddest creation I’ve seen so far purest form of genuine badass good job sir

[@HonestMike]

DUDE!!! You have the baddest ass 71 Squareback ever \m/ Honest²

[@marshalljackson3343]

Holy crap! My first car was a 69 squareback but it was nowhere near this! Good work!

[@arthursmith5409]

This is far-from-nugen! A wildly greatly engineered build! Never thought I'd say this but this car blew my mind and then blew me away! Outrageous, the muscle flat-8 sound. Great build, Man

[@CoolCarVideo]

We will let the owner know ;) Thanks a lot!

[@bamknm90]

Love that paint job. Nice car.

[@race_bannon1233]

[@x15973]

This is too F@&#*!G cool! Well done.

[@thadbarkett9882]

Sweet ass squareback really like you fabbed it yourself,nice job love the car

[@royblankenship5185]

As an owner of over 20 VW's and being familiar with their sound, it is interesting that having TWO motors and EIGHT cylinders makes it sound like a V8.

[@robert-oq9jq]

Damn two VW boxers bolted together man I've got to do that

[@grandroofing1604]

Wow, nice job. We have a 67 square back. We also race our 68 mustang. You married them!

[@CoolCarVideo]

True!

[@teslaphysics]

Thats crazy awesome!!! Looks like Phx AZ

Yup it's Phoenix

[@teslaphysics]

Thats way cool! Any car meets or shows youre taking it to soon?

[@PaulCuenin]

Really cool 😎

[@robertwalls5794]

Totally KICKA$$ and such a great concept and the name is the cherry on top!👍

[@GioSinatraFan]

Wow, that did not sound like a beetle motor at all. Way impressive.

[@chevy1982100]

This vw is mint!

[@markhagge8646]

Great car with very impressive engineering. The sound when you revved it was similar to a V8.

[@russelljohns5572]

well done

[@themadscientest]

I sure hope Hot Wheels eventually makes this one in the collectors line.

[@jayroller7054]

Oh yeah this thing is sweet

[@geraldparker7008]

[@ronkemp9528]

Cool car man.

[@pepsijoesadventures5198]

Way to cool !!

[@raulcontes5533]

too good to be true;it sounds like a American V8!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice custom!!!!!!!!!!

[@42lookc]

Just a fantastic build! I wonder how he figured out how to time the cranks so it really sounds like a V8 rather than just two flat fours running at the same time?

[@CoolCarVideo]

If I remember correctly I think the timing on engines is offset by 90º

[@rawmilkmike]

Being a 4 stroke, he could have made it 360 degrees out of sync.

[@Nick-uu2ln]

So cool 😎👍

[@daleestep9518]

Set of low back seats would be great in there

[@reginaldbowls7180]

There's still room for two more engines!

[@CoolCarVideo]

LOL

[@jeffdbaker71]

It has that look to it, is it raceable or is it just a work of art?

[@lotso69]

Very cool and different!

[@theriderdtm8650]

Awesome ✌🏻

[@Mikefngarage]

Dude this guy is totally a new George Barris...

[@CoolCarVideo]

we will pass your comment to the owner ;)

[@Punk_Unkle_Guitars]

Sounds so cool

[@HPSFRoadrunner]

Too cool indeed! I didn't hear anything about the timing of the two motors. It sounds more like a V8 than a VW so they are timed to balance out the power?

[@jackmagnium6115]

they are clocked 90 degrees apart which gives it a chevy v8 firing order(and its a big block firing order)

[@chrismarusic4277]

YEA ,,,like Butter .....BABY

[@martysquires9449]

First vehicle I seen with two vw engines my dad use to gave a riding mower with a VW engine it was pretty fast mower

When your carburetor bores are twice the size of the intake runners.
