Can you say A-L-U-M-I-N-I-U-M???

I've posted about this guy before when i was considering a dash from him.
He does Simply amazing custom work and Is located in Austin, Texas which is just a couple hours drive form me. Anyway, I happened to notice an article in Hot VW's recently w/ him in it. OK, Who is "He?"

Check out "His" stuff at this link.

Awesome work, especially from a guy that learned the craft on his own. I've been eyeing the door sills and battery hold-down. :agree:

Cool. Thanks for the kind words.

If anyone wants to talk about some design ideas for road race looking aluminum interiors, let me know. Not everything I do is for drag racers.

My firewall is due to be replaced.

I never thought about a metal one until I just read this. I'm thinking it would look nice, but I'm worried about heat retained in the engine compartment and the added weight. Vaid conserns?

Is the firewall different in a Super?
