What do we have on the floor today? Just you wait and see!
This little Beetle's getting some TLC.
This little Beetle, an electric conversion (check out the Tesla setup!).
This little Ghia's getting her bottom masked (woo wooooo).
And THIS little Beetle will make you drool... if you're into split windows, semaphores, and 67 year-olds.

At Low Down in Dub Town, we blow up engines. For a good cause, though! This year, we supported St. Jude's Hospital with our 50/50 engine blow. After a long, long wait for this year's engine to give up the ghost, we had an engine that ended up running on 2 cylinders and reaching 575F degrees! Our winner showed extreme class and kindness and donated his winnings to St. Jude's. VW people are pretty awesome.

What Happens When You Cross an Engineer with an Artist?
Easy – you get Spook. A vintage steel restoration guru with a passion for paint, Spook dreamed of Airkooled Kustoms long before opening the shop in Hazel Green in 2004.
The mastermind behind the proprietary processes that yield darkside dubs that Volkswagen and Porsche enthusiasts drool over, Spook doesn’t do anything halfway.
Ask him about buying a classic air-cooled vehicle made by Airkooled Kustoms, and you’ll probably be surprised to hear him advise against it.
See, the process is long, it’s expensive, and it requires a level of commitment few would-be buyers possess.
The process is not cheap. It is not for the faint of heart. If you CAN settle for anything other than driving an Airkooled Kustoms Classic Volkswagen or Porsche, you should. If settling is simply impossible, you should contact us and get your dream car onto the always-full production schedule.

HOW D
how-do-i-choose-a-shop-to-restore-my
This week, we asked Spook, "How do I pick a shop to restore my classic VW Beetle?" There's a good reason that's a great question.
Now and then, someone brings us a vehicle that's "been restored" but for some reason isn't running quite right - or something just feels "off" about it. You would NOT believe some of the "solutions" we've discovered over the years. We've seen fence posts welded into bus frames. We've seen welding done AFTER paint. We've seen zip-ties holding panels onto bodies. Cement, newspaper, and more Bondo than any eye ought ever to see.
When it's a ride that's just fallen into disrepair decades after these "repairs" happened, that's one thing. But what's heartbreaking is when an owner brings their "just finished getting restored" classic VW to the shop, and we discover this sort of... innovation. More than once, we've had to break the sad news that the owner's investment was for nothing (or worse, that it's going to be even more expensive to undo the work that was done before it can be fixed for real).
All that to say, please be careful as you choose a VW restoration shop. Do your due diligence. Ask around. Go visit in person if you can. Make sure you choose well. There are lots of VW experts you can turn to, all over the world. It won't be cheap to get yours restored - in fact, you'll get what you pay for. As Spook says, "Buy once, cry once." So, that's why this is a question worth pondering.
OK, rant over... Here's what's going on at the shop this week.
- The 1952 Zwitter is still in polish. Spook's been doing some wet sanding and that Beetle is looking amazing. We named the custom paint color "Copperhead" and it's stunning.
- Stone's been making great progress on Christine, the 1959 VW double door panel bus that got whacked as its owner drove it home for the first time. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, but the insurance company wanted to write it off as a total loss. Not on our watch!
- Gazzo's Ghia is looking goooooooood. It's getting closer and closer to being finished, and will turn heads wherever it goes.
- Cabral's 1978 VW Westfalia camper's interior is making great progress and will be so much fun for the family to take out on excursions! It makes us smile knowing all the great memories they'll make together in that bus.
- Rusty, the 1967 21-Window Ragtop Bus is getting stronger every day. The subfloor will be next, and soon it'll start to look more like a vehicle than a skeleton.
We hope you'll enjoy watching this week's video. Don't forget to check out our "No Talky-Talky, Just Worky-Worky" playlist which gives you a glimpse of what it's really like working on these old Dubs.

CLASS
classic-vw-valuation-how-do-you-choose
You asked... "How do you think about VW valuation, and what should I avoid?" Spook and Daren have an answer for you that can help you choose wisely. Way too often, we've seen clients buy a project VW or one that's already been restored, and end up with heartache. We've seen Ghias held together by zip ties, Beetles that were rusted through and the rust was hidden, and cars that basically taco'd when we put them on the lift because their structure was shot.

VW SQ
vw-squareback-disassembly-miss-judy-part
We've had Miss Judy in the shop for a while (she's already through paint!). But thought you might enjoy watching Daren and Corey disassemble her. It's a long video - and an even longer process, so we'll share it in pieces.
It's important to be very organized as you disassemble. Don't just dive in and yank parts off of your Dub. Take pictures - more than you think you'll need. And bag and tag everything... even the stuff you know you'll need to replace and stuff that disintegrates in your hand. The more organized you are as you take it all apart, the easier it will be when it's time to put it all back together.

Rusty, the 1967 VW 21-Window Bus we're restoring for a client, is getting a whole lot of new metal. The long panels on the driver's side weren't quite fitting right. So, Josh is fixing that.
