Abilene Aircooled and Texas Oil Drippers meet and greet

We started the day by getting Chucks 914 ready to cruise. Ron came over and synchronized his dual carbs and now the "Porker" is running smoother. Here is Ryan's "Flamer" actually of the trailer, LOL.

Leaving Chucks place for the meet/cruise

We went to Double Dave's Pizzeria and met up with the folks from the Texas Oil Drippers. Only one Oil Dripper aircooled car in attendance. Cale brought over his yellow turbo bug. The rest of the Oil Drippers are working on their rides over the winter.  After dinner we went for a short cruise around town. Here are a few pictures of tonight.

New VW PT Cruiser....I mean Beetle......

Spy shots of re-designed new VW beetle......sorry guys I think it looks like a Chrysler PT Cruiser......Why doesn't VW realize that they have it wrong and design a beetle closer to its roots visually? Dodge has proven this theory is possible by designing and marketing the Dodge Challenger which looks almost identical to the '70's Icon. If VW designed, and marketed a VW beetle closer to the original pre'70's design I am sure they would have a hit on their hands.

Customers roof rack is complete

I hand fabricated a roof rack based on the classic design. Rack is made from 0.065" wall tubing and TIG welded. Wood slats are made of Oak. I offer these racks in steel, and stainless. I have another design I am working on and will post pictures as soon as I have it done.
As per customers request I have painted this rack in black.
