'68 sunroof deluxe going down!

Because I sold the panel last week, it's time to start working on the desertfound sunroof deluxe!
Plans are to lower it front and rear, add a set of sprintstars, and get the sunroof working again :)
I will post pictures from the work on the deluxe on the blog the next couple of weeks.

Got an axle at work, so I can make a beam first!

Add some adjusters on both axles:

Get the bus into the garage:

Demolitiontime!

More later this week!!

Turkish '61 meets 4" beam

Last weekend I helped out Jeroen by mounting a 4" narrowed beam on his '61
He only had dropped spindles, and with the 5,5x15 Empi wheels the tires rubbed the fenders.....
We were hoping the car would be the same height with the axle in his highest position as standard, but it dropped an extra 2"!!
Looks sweet, and he will get used to it........I hope!

Arnhem Dub-inn

Today we took the oval to a local show in Arhem, the Arhem dub-inn!
It was held for the 5th time, and we had a great time!
Two or three little rainshowers, but after that the sun came right back again!
At the end of the day I took 1st price in the aircooled category, sweet!!!
Check out the pics I took, not much......but we were way to busy with chatting, and I got a photoshoot for a magazine that took some time aswell :)
More pics here!

Drop it!

Last weekend I lowered my friend Dennis his freshly restored '67 bug!
He didn't want to do an extreme loweringjob, so I made him a 2,5" narrowed and adjustable beam.
Just a 3" lower up front, the rear end already had a littlebit negative camber, so we kept it like that.
Turned out great if I may say so, happy cruisin'!

1970 2,5" narrowed beam

Last week I made a beam for my friend Chip his tiki '70 beetle.
It's a 2,5" narrowed beam, now rollin' with 5,5x15 Empi wheels.
In the near future the car will get some oldskool 4x15 stock wheels, that will really make a difference!
