Nice work...
Vanagons handle great with the weight balance and larger alloy wheels.... Does that V8 lump at the rear screw up the balance? Now, iffin I just take a sawzall to the rear of my white Vanagon, think I could make it look like that? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Ken |

Nope, no plans on a syncro for this one. The wheelie bars will proll'y zip out on electric solenoids (near future project)--but Sway-Away better make some axles that hang together first , Sheared one in half already (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
Water pump is a Rod Simpson Hybrid piece, and it pumps into a Vanagon diesel radiator w/ 185 deg tstat. The vehicle balance isn't bad, but the steering gets light over 100 mph--maybe some front canards (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Marty |

Didn't you used to post a pic of it doing a wheelie on your website? |

With a 1985 chassis, and an earlier motor, how are you handling smog issues?
I have been thinking about installing a mild SBC into an Early VW BUS (21 window would be ideal, but i dont have the heart (or funds) to cut up a decent one, and i'm too lazy to restore one from the dead (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/robot.gif) Also thought about doing an early double cab... Would be a blast to pass people going up the baker grade while towing, in a VW bus (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

I've been wanting to do a split window tow vehicle. One issue is the weight of the bus. I'd probably throw some steel plate on the floor panels just so the trailer wouldn't throw me around.
Probably too big of a project for me to ever get around to. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) |
