Here is my new ride. Beck 550 Spyder with a 2165cc engine built by Raby's Aircooled. I flew up to Bremen, Indiana to help finish it out. Not having a VW vocabulary any longer, I don't know much about the suspension or transaxle. It looks like standard beetle stuff. It has front discs with aluminum drum simulators on all corners and wide 5 steel wheels. I DO know that two guys can't be in it at the same time. Just doesn't look right. Soon as the weather cools down and my baby girl is born, I hope to be cruising this Fall.

Wow, that's a nice ride. I really like the custom stainless exhaust.
