Proper Looker

hi, im a newbie here and was wondering if a 74 standard would be a good candidate for a looker? so far all ive seen are super beetles and they look great! i especially love the bug on the intro page to this site!

I'm building a 72 std, and I know there is at least one other person on here with a 60's model std. Anything can be a GL, even T3 and busses.

Almost anything can be a GL looker :)

There are a few splittie guys here and I think even a few baywindow bus GL guys in Europe.

I think a standard beetle is easier to GL since there is less pieces to fiddle with as compared to a Super. But currently I only know of Supers that actually race on the tracks..? Someone correct me here if possible.

I've got a 74 Standard ... check out my profile in the members section. You can also look in the galleries on the main page ... lots of GL standards around.

I will be driving my standard on the track this year and will report back with videos on how it handles :D

The local PCA will not let you run anything BUT a porsche ... I can run a POS 924 but not a bug with a 914 trans/engine, 993/930 brakes, 911 wheels :shrug:

BUT .. the local BMW club lets you run anything !!! Its a start :laugh:

they have open and closed events down here. i was really speaking to SCCA though. i don't feel the need to educate the Porsche guys as much as i do ricers. :laugh:

but i digress. we are off topic.

YES a standard makes a fine GL. a super is a better performing platform though.
