I had a '66 1300 Beetle. Pretty easy to work on, and not too hard make to make it look half good...i dropped the spindles, stuck on some Empi BRMs and put dual 48's out back. Wasn't a bad car, although it was a constant battle trying to save the floor pans and other parts from rot.

Mid 10's...dam that's a quick Beetle. That must of taken a lot of work to get the 327 hooked up front and all the running gear to go with it. The Super Beetle...was that a 1600 5 speed in the 1303 body shape from the factory?

The Diplomat has that sinister look of the Buick GN/GNX. Was it a G-body?

The Harley sounds good. Did you alter the frame with a rigid tail? My next bike is gonna be an FXR...an ex police one with the hard panniers would be good. Eric Buell really knew what he was doing when he put the FXR frame together...the geometry is perfect. He has had some real good inventions/innovations in the bike world.
