Hmmmm, something to consider! The older VW stuff probably has a cult like following similar to Coke products, etc. I know Cindy is drawn to anything that has that classic VW logo on it. I found a finned, aluminum VW valve cover and I mounted it on a piece of wood for a shelf/desk display oddity/conversaion starter for her. Ha! I just noticed my last post here, we bought a Passat not a Jetta! We did own two Jetta Diesel sport wagons before switching to the bigger Passats. I loved those things! Little torque monsters! I beat a guy on a Harley across an intersection with it one time! The will smoke the hides!!! ;-} I will have to start looking for VW hubcaps too!
This was my 5th VW hubcap build, they sell as fast as you build them. Looking for more caps but getting harder to find. Going to a swap meet in a couple of weeks hope to pick up some there. My first car was a red 66 Beetle, Dad loved working on them.
Cindy's first car was a '65 Beetle. Her and her brother used to rebuild them back in high school. We just bought our fourth new VW last week, a white 2017 Jetta TSI. My son is the internet sales manager at a VW dealership in Fargo, ND. THis git is beautiful! Bet your dad loves it! When I first spotted it I was going to ask if you still had it and offer to buy!!! :-}

Thanks Maddog they're a lot of fun, but somebody will want it as soon as you get done.
Beauty Gary!
I've got a few VW caps laying around and have been meaning to do builds with, maybe tomorrow :-)

Thanks Mick.
Be interesting to see Maddog's interpretation of a hub cap guit.
Cool about your dad. Good VW mechanics were sought after.
Slug Bug! I just gave a VW cap like this to Maddog, Kind of glad I did. Let him do all that metal cutting!
We did have a '57 Bug and a '63 Bus. My first car was a '66 Bug.
Thanks UJ, Dad was a mechanic for 40 years and VW's were his favorite to work on.
