Dustin told me to make my way over here so here I am.

Many of you know me but here an introduction anyway.

Ben live in Davison Mi.

I work for Continental as a vehicle test engineer, tuning safety systems in upcoming vehilces.

I have quite a few VWs currently they keep pilling up.

First is my favorit 1965 Velvet green double cab.
Next is the 61 ragtop that used to be John Hansons, I traded him back his 66 vert for this one.
I have a second owner 74 thing that I bought for my fiance (Amanda)
Then I have 2.5 more things...1.5 73s (I cut one into pieces) and a 74.
Oh an of course my MKV GTI that I never seem to drive.

I'll post up to your projects section when I get a chance, I am in the middle of making one thing out of the 3 I had.
I just finished the pan this afternoon, all new paint, new brake lines master wheel cylinders refinished drums etc. I am swapping bodies I found an original yellow 74 body that is from tennessee for the barn fresh look.

Hello Ben I have heard about you but I don't think I have ever met you. I have just purchased a Rusty 69 Westy because I have found that at 6'-7" I can actually fit. I was wondering if some day you can let me just sit in the Double Cab to see if I can fit in a pre 67 bus.

I am glad that you joined have fun and keep posting
