The "Virgin" pre resto days

Here's Mike's "Dirty Virgin" pre restoration. Slammed on raders it is a clean example of an oval. It has now undergone a full restoration and is sporting a factory rag top.

Remembering an old friend (62rag)

This car has some history at Wide5. First owned by Mike Hedrick then owned by Bill Dwyer. It endured several incarnations. First OG stocker with minor mods. Then sporting polished fivespokes with an off white interior. In later years it had the black five spokes, brick red interior and matt finish black paint. It had several engine and tranny combos in it from a stock 1600 to 1776cc and finally a 1835 with lot's of tricks. It also ended up with a berg built close ratio tranny. It made many trips to Lakeland dragstrip and was used almost daily.Unfortunatlly it was wrecked one week after it was sold to a new owner. The pan and car was very damaged and only parts could be salvaged. R.I.P. 62!

Al's legacy

Alvaro Rodriguez has owned many VW's. Here's a sampling through the years. One of my favorites was this old school inspired 58 with T bars and flames. I also dug the pea green 66 with BRMs and vintage accessories. It was wrecked at Bug Jam by its new owner 5 or so years ago.
