The new ride- http://hoodride.com/forum/index.php/topic,27.15.html


Hello,
My name is Rich, and I'm new here, so i figured i would post a few pics of my ride. call it what you want, a rat rod, hoodride, open wheeler. anyway here it is, my 71 super with a 1500cc motor. this is my project and my daily. let me know what you think. i am thinking about doing something different with it, and i am always open to ideas!

Please excuse the crappy cell phone pics-










nes0001:
Cool. A street baja of sorts...

Welcome to hoodride  :D

Rich:
thanks.

She'll be getting some fenders soon, (as soon as i can find everything i need for a reasonable price) and I plan on dropping it a bit more in the front to give it a nice rake. because its a Super Beetle, i cant really slam it with out major mods and major $$$.

no worries, please repost when you get some better pics cause that is fuckin nice. where did ya get the steelies?

Rich:
lol the wheels came with the car. powder coated safety orange! they are actually BRIGHTER than construction cones haha.  I personally LOVE the rear wheels, they are 12'' wide and wrapped in Kumo's! (the wheels are pretty much worth what i paid for the whole car!

I am looking to do something a little different with it, as this is pretty much what it looked like when i got it. I cleaned it up and did alot of maintenance;

new clutch, short sifter, carb, starter, fuel pump, dist cap, plugs and wires oh, and rear adjustable coil overs
when i got it there was NO rear suspension,  and it was only running on two cyl. she is now my daily driver. runs great, starts every time, and rides smooth thanks to the coil overs.
 
I plan on taking a few shots with my good camera but its a 35mm so it might take me a while to get them up...... unless someone wants to do a photo shoot with me lol
