Thanks Jeff! But you dont know the half of it. I have a bad addiction to Jeeps as well...

Besides that, I got some big plans going on with the Bug. Lots of changes are taking place. Let me finish up with my first change and I will post up some pictures.

Test picture. Hopefully this works.

Great article, thanks for sharing. I will be waiting to see what you have in-store for changes/upgrades.

I loved watching your bug scream by!

Nice to see such a slick looking machine on the road.

**alykat** · April 25th, 2018, 07:08 AM

Damn I like this rig ! Exhaust note is perfect.

70 Bug Mid Engine · April 25th, 2018, 08:49 AM

Thanks guys! I hope you all enjoy the changes I am making.

Alykat - one of those changes are going to be to the exhaust. It is just too loud. So hopefully by making it a bit quieter, it doesnt kill the tone of the exhaust.

That is very nice

I have to admit that over the decades I have bit by bit toned down the volume of the exhaust on various projects. Now days I look for a sort of sewer pipe rumble. Something that makes your knees shake and gut dance, but makes your ears happy.

After a few weeks of working on the Bug and waiting on parts to show up, I finally got my front air splitter done! It is 100% functional and we will see what it does at my next race.

**V8Transporter** · May 1st, 2018, 10:13 PM

Front end looks great.

Wait a minute, are those, teeth!?

70 Bug Mid Engine · May 2nd, 2018, 09:11 AM

They are indeed teeth. Well, I consider them more as dentures. Removable when needed.

**alykat** · May 2nd, 2018, 11:45 AM

Looks good. Ready to take a bite out of the competition.

**V8Transporter** · May 2nd, 2018, 02:05 PM

^^^ Damn, you beat me to it.

70 Bug Mid Engine · May 2nd, 2018, 03:31 PM

Haha good one!
