    Simple Moon Hub Caps would be a finishing touch

      Cydsdad it turned out so well then you come along and want to "cheapen"the look that's nasty maybe you should suggest useless bumper stickers to go with useless hubcraps OK

    Amazing build, one of my best friends growing up had a few him and his Dad restored together.

    Pretty confident that it's "revved up like a Deuce". Although it can be hard sometimes to know if you're joking, I imagine that a car person such as yourself wouldn't make that mistake intentionally 🙂

    If any future owner of this car ever removes that Sarah-n-Tuned sticker from that car, we're all coming after them. LOL. This series has been incredibly entertaining and extremely disorienting. I know it started with a 50 year old vehicle in 2022 but all that energy, creativity and knowledge has made it seem like we're back in 1970 watching a new car roll off the line in Wolfsburg. Amazing.

    This by far the best VW I have seen. I really like the attention to every little detail. Great car.
