| howsit goin yall just joined up. twas recomended by a friend on here. my name is jesse i live and work in auburn born n raised. i am a co-owner anbd artist at syndicate tattoo. been tattooing for ten years and avid vw addict my entire life. ive had a few vdubs over the years and i was a member of the now defunked old volks vw club gold country chapter back in 98-99 whith my old dark blue almost purple raked, 1776 dual carb powered 67 fastback, ive also had a 71 auto square, a pink n white suicide door 66 bug and i still have a really straight but project 59 with no rust anywhere as well as my driver/foothill road grater 1964 bug that ive had for almost six years. i got it from my buddy wally. for cash and tattoo trade... those of you in the area early 2000's may remember, it had a really big"64" on the roof stenciled in a large blue circle. rest of it was white w/ blue pearl with primered hood and front fenders. back then it was stock ish 1600 dp single solex with an adjustable beam and at least 2 outer notches in the rear maybe two outer one inner, way low with 165s and killer camber(killed two drums on the same side in the first six months actually lol). over the years ive had a lot of help in typical vw community style gettin it to the state its in now. it now has a walter gibson (ssb member) 6" narrowed beam sans shock towers cb adjusters, cb 2.5" drop spindles, pie cut spring plates, bugformance pro street tranny. ray vallero balanced and assembled 1776, forged mahle aj sims ballanced pistons with original italian weber 40idfs i rebuilt all the way down new shaft bearings n all and converted to 44mm style tops n stacks, electric fuel pump, engle 110 cam,compu fire on a 009 soon to go e.d.i.s. crank fire actually, original scat drag fast yanker. true hid xenon 1200kv headlights in black backed projectors. nevr touched anything inside except some nice used door and rear panels and a wood grant wheel otherwise it was done in black velour in the eighties or early nineties. still fairly nice tho could use new carpet kit for sure. my buddy aaron did the paint work for me and we did the body work together. the color on top is hod rod flats-carnival red pearl and the bottom we called dumpstock pewter pearl lol, it consists of leftover stock from under the paint table from past jobs. subaru chevy and dodge pewterish colors then added a bunch of white pearl and graphite pearl to accentuate the curves, gives extra high light and darkens the lowlights. all pinstriping was done by dane brown of auburn. top rack, back rack and if $ allows aluminum mesh visor when i go to, or maybe before bugo' in may if one of yall are gettin rid of one im proly game for it. big thanks to dave burkhalter and my buddy ed for being my bitches for all the hard to reach bolts and bullshi*t jobs i conned you into doing for tattoos or otherwise. im thinkin bout selling it the end of the season to start a notch project but havent decided if im gonna fix the last spot. thatll determine the price it goes for, it had a good crunch in the front long ago and it s got some waffling in the spare well. its so low for driving around here its almost not worth fixn till right before it goes lol. hope to meet, swap, talk to all on here at some point at the shows etc im trying to hit any and all reasonably distanced meets shows swaps and anything to do with vws this season! | |

| Welcome. I think that I met you briefly at Ray's shop a couple of weeks ago. The paint scheme on your bug works very well. | |
