[@IUnknownIDispatch]

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

[@shaunh2798]

Well done.. excellent video.. fantastic work on the oval

[@volkstroke]

Thank you very much!

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@lookingthroughice7843]

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

[@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

[@volkstroke]

Thanks ✌

[@James-js6dx]

[@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

[@copkent1]

Beautiful car. I only hope mine will look half as good when it's done.

[@SNR_Hawaii]

Beautiful car and sound

[@jeraldgoff6475]

That's a bad ass motor

[@douglasstewart4578]

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

[@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

[@davidaraujo3475]

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

[@volkstroke]

Well modified we installed it too

[@67VWForever]

Sweet Oval. But my 67 build will do just fine ground up. Nice Video David..

[@volkstroke]

Cool, thanks! And yes it will

[@bearvw1966]

Not Bad bro 214 w/belt on😍

[@volkstroke]

And short manifolds the tall ones make more

[@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

[@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

[@socaljarhead7670]

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

[@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

[@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

[@custombug74]

Amazing work again guys!!!

[@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

[@hieroglyph321]

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

[@volkstroke]

Hmm the John Wayne

[@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

[@volkstroke]

No

[@bearvw1966]

FK89 44x37....?

[@volkstroke]

Web cam 86c 44 37 yep low manifold with big ones it would have made more

[@witcher71]

This thing is Badass! Ditch the narrowed beam!

[@volkstroke]

We did buddy

[@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

[@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

What's the build sheet on that engine?

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

[@volkstroke]

Yes sir

[@philclark1688]

Wow, 1 baby hit. Sounds like a rod's knocking or detonation.

[@volkstroke]

🤣

[@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
