JBugs - Father & Son - 1972 VW Baja Bug - At the Desert Dubs 3rd Annual Vintage VW Show

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Nathan and Sam worked furiously over the last 2 weeks to get Nate's car "show ready". Well, at least ready enough to get it driving well enough to get on and off of a trailer and into a show. Their hard work paid off and when Saturday, April 20th came around they were able to do just that! They made it to Kiwani's Park and were able to spend the day hanging out with fellow VW enthusiasts, enjoy the cars, the people, the weather and the venue! Sam, Nate & JBugs want to give a HUGE thank you to Desert Dub's for setting up such an awesome event! You can find out more information from them here - desertdubs.com/

    Sam, it was such a pleasure to meet you in person! I was star-struck! I had the green Meyers Manx on the hill. I could not have built my car without JBugs parts and your videos! Thank you for everything you do for the community, we love you and look forward to seeing you around the valley!! Best of luck with Nathan's build!

    No problem, we jumped the timeline of the build and released the show video. We’ll get back to more of the build next week. The tires are “race only” Yokohama tires - 7x15s on the front and 32x10.50s on the rear.
