20th anniversary shirt design is with the printer and I should have them in the next month or so.

I also have the option for long sleeves, sweatshirts and hoodies, but I need to gauge the Interest on those...

20th shirts will be Navy. Hoodies/sweatshirts will either be Navy or black. Not both.

I also still have an Extremely short supply of the previous shirt design still on hand, in very limited sizes! Those are $10 picked up/$15 shipped. by @slowlow_vw

- Bare, 4" Linkpin with no adjusters for Joe in Pennsylvania.

- 3" Balljoint beam for Kenny's '66 coming in soon for the install.

Huge thanks to everyone above, the support and patience is always greatly appreciated.

You'll never see me claiming to be quick or promising turn around times, but I CAN promise you I'm at these tables every day, building quality parts and working my way down the list, towards your name, as quickly as one guy can.

I'm building beams and parts every single day. Not after hours, not on the side, not mixed in with other random shit. It's not an afterthought, it's the focus. Every component, besides tie rod ends, are hand made by me. One indvidual guy.

I do the drafting, design it all, bend it all, cut it all, I weld it all, I prep and grind it all, tap it all, I pet the occasional cat, I produce in house made bushings from my own molds, box it all...

Most of the time is spent building the parts to make the actual main part. Making adjuster tabs, adjuster blocks, bending and zapping up mounts, damper tabs, bending towers for all you shock using weirdos... that's half the week most times.

Add in answering questions and talking to folks through a dozen different platforms, plus the folks who stop in on any given day. 🙃

I'm extremely grateful for the right at 20 years of customers and friends, most who have been both.

I very rarely even touch a whole car these days. Nearly all the progress photos you'll see on that front is all due to my Pops being around and working his tail off.

Just know, if you're on the list, I'm thinking about your parts and just like you, wishing I was quicker.

Not really sure why I went on a rant, but If you read my novel, I appreciate it.

Late last night Dad finished his long, tough battle with cancer. The past year and a half he had a hell of a time, especially these past few months.

While there would never be enough time, I can atleast say he's no longer enduring such suffering.

The absolute best father, friend and business parter anybody could ever ask for and there isn't a soul who could come close.

Extremely grateful for the time we had and our 20+ years working together. The shop sure isn't the same without him...

Huge thanks to everyone who has had encouraging words all this time and those who have reached out today. I love and appreciate you all 💔

Bit of slow progress on this thing.

Ton of junk wiring and wire nuts torn out.

New ignition switch and plug. Cranks with a key now.

Suspension all refreshed. Junk beam repaired. New Balljoints, shocks, bushings, coupler, brakes, shoes, cylinders, hoses, turned drums, new stainless hard lines. New tie rod ends and silly painted tie rod tubes.

Pedal assembly torn down, cleaned up, greased and painted. ClassicBugParts throttle pedal and some sweet feets.

Still need to finish a few patches in the patched to death floors and toss the engine in, but one step at a time... by @slowlow_vw
