Nice guitar, and beautifully restored VW Bug. Does it have the stock air cooled engine? I remember it was a good idea to put external oil coolers on those

Sweet Beetle!

I've got a surf green fender prosonic that would go perfectly with both of those. Fyi my first car was a 1953 bug I bought while I was stationed in Germany in the 60s. No synchro transmission lol. No turn signals. No gas gauge! Primitive but functional!

 

[shimmilou]

Sweet!

Yes, safari windshield. Yes, stock engine. Yes, Positive Grid Spark 40. Very cool and affordable little amp. Create backing tracks. Translates chords from any video.

One more pic, and good news! A buddy came over this afternoon and we hooked a battery to the air ride so I could at least raise it and drive it. A quick trip around the block was therapeutic.

Awesome!

First - SAWEEEEET!!!
Second - Does my eye spy the bottom of a Pos Grid Spark in one of those pics?
Third - I'm only seeing about half your garage and I'm already jealous - nice workspace!

Thanks man. The other car is the wife’s 2017 C300 coupe. Crazy fast, sporty 4 cylinder turbo. I drive a 10 year old GL450. But it l looks like new and the price was right.

My custom PS order - P245 Trem with full Braz Pattern Vintage neck.

I was going for Hapuna Beach and they nailed it!

Wow.

The Guitar Shop when Brent had it did I a run in Bahama Mama finish similar to yours. Those were sweet too!

I had the SCT from the Mk II run. Like an idiot I traded it in for another PS that I no longer have

A guy in Texas on TGP has it - told him I’d like it back and he said no way!

I’ll have to order my own version of Veinbuster’s SCT in Bahama Blue with a TOL inlay someday

My Mk II had blue style smoke burst - I prefer the straight Bahama Blue. Sigh

Great news, and not so great news.

I wanted this first picture to be pro shot outside. But, alas, my Beetle still needs some wiring finished up...

But, my refinished McTrem arrived and I can’t help myself.

Dude, that Bug is bad ass! What year is it?

My first car was a '73 Super Beetle with larger aftermarket fenders and wheels. It didn't have a heater, no reverse gear and red primer paint. I loved that thing.

1970. I had a green Sun Bug Super Beetle in high school.

Here’s its fat bottomed sibling.
