Hey, I'm new here too. I'm a VW nut as well....(read Samba, Cal-Look Lounge, etc..) Anyway I think these Ratrod bikes are very cool, and it gives you something else to obsess on besides the ACVW world!!

If I could fit in most VW's I would probably be a nut, that's why I love my 2 '59s....a 1959 Ford and a 1959 Columbia. Welcome!! Excited to see your build!!

Start a build thread and post a picture of the thing.

Thanks to all, big ups to KOTA for the seat info.....started pics will post asap. Today begins measuring at the dub shop and maybe alittle cutting
Looking initially for a minimalist approach to start. figure i would use my mine to make the big mistakes on and then have the boy start stripping his cruiser. Im guessing three coats of dubious paint. he will be pissed
