mOnster garage, drag bug attempt-take one Options

[charlesmac]

Anyone see the write up in the hot vw's magazine about Jessie James getting together some vw guys (Clyde Berg is the only one i can remember at the moment) to build a drag bug out of a split window coupe? Ought to be pretty interesting. The air date is either the 22nd or 29th.

I've got to be the a-hole to start this. I WILL not, and have refused to modify ANY pre '57 bug in a manner that cannot be easily undone. Why in the hell cut up a split or oval to build a damn drag car, when there are oodles of 60's on models out there, as well as "kits" to build an oval. If this is true I have lost what little respect I had left for the Berg family. I have NOTHING wrong with modifying a bug ion any way unless it is a split, oval or a 67. To add insult to injury that a-hole James goes home to Sandra Bullock (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sheeplove.gif) every night................

why are you guys giving him a hard time, he has an extremely valid point...

tons of older cars are becoming more rare, pre A 356's, pre 57 vw's, etc and to cut them up and make rat rods out of them is taking away the historic value of the car and making them more rare. i know i want to see a pre A in person..and one that is privately owned, and even show my future son one..

cars like this are very important to history..and id wrather not see them dissapear into modified hulks.
