Fast N' Loud, Season 8, Episode 5: Buggin Out is on the Discovery Channel here in Phoenix. They buy a VW Bug to customize and sell. It's the shop that they deal with that caught my eye. The delivery vehicle with the new motor that drives in to Gas Monkey Garage is the coolest Vanagon AWD custom that I have ever seen. I want it! Here is a link to a VW club whose sign I saw in the episode. www.facebook.com/Der-Luftk%C3%BChlers-120507947963041/I didn't see the Vanagon in their pictures but there where lots of other busses to see. Also, in the episode was a VW delivery vehicle that was 1 of 11 made in Europe. The guy in the show took the regulars for a ride in it. The vehicle made me think of a 60's era version of the new Ford Transit Connect. I didn't have much luck Goggling Lucky's Fab Shop. Which is where the guy says he owns. The name on his shirt and the big sign in a background shot turned out to be the VW club. Thought I'd pass this on in case anyone is interested. Neal P.S. Dave I hope all is going well with you and yours.

I'm of split opinion on custom work. I like, normally, the lines and set-up of stock machines but some kits do add some interesting ideas to the sheet metal. It's the ones where they destroy other vehicles to create their work that irritates me.
My own Vanagon is sitting in the driveway with a blown brake line. I haven't decided if I'll go through the aggravation of changing it myself or have it towed to a local guy.
