My Current VW Drivers
The Speedster. Think of it as sort of a dune buggy with
doors. Everything under the body assembles the same way.
All you do is spend more on it and do much more work.
I built it in 94 from the now defunct Classic Motor Carriages
(CMC) outfit in Florida. Had it drivable in 5 months time
and spent another year on the details. It's a 57 Porsche
Speedster replica, on a 74 IRS bug chassis. I drive it as
much as time allows and it often makes the 50 mile round trip
to work
Currently running a 2180cc with dual 44 Weber's with a
special 3:44 IRS transaxle. This set-up works real good or
this car. Disc brakes, electronic ignition, anything that makes
it more reliable is fine for me.

This is my latest project, a 1969 Autodynamics
Deserter GS. This was a tough 5 year build for
me. Everything needed repair, replacement or just
start from new.
A mid-engine, space frame ad monocque design
originated in the Formula Vee track cars of
Autodynamics. This car is powered by a Chevy
Corvair six with late model VW running gear.
Drivable 2008, needs paint to finish.
