The best part is explaining to people that it has nothing to do with bikers or nazis.

Sweet jesus!

Just wear a helmet when you drive with those safari's....bugs hurt at 100mph.

When I first got it, I thought the safaris were the coolest thing since sliced bread. Immeadiately hopped in and buzzed into town (via the interstate) to show my mom. Note to self; 70mph on the interstate with no windsheild...not as cool as first imagined...

...and to think I specifically didn't post pictures over there 'cuz I knew it wasn't their bag.

I have to appreciate any conversion thats done well, I've seen some vw's with V8's t5hat were done well, not something I'd do but you have to give respect where its due, however I've seen way more butcher jobs where people don't bother to do it properly.

I like your ride and I'd do the same thing to my panel if I came across the right deal on the engine. Vintage guys have their place, but unfortunatly they sometimes forget it. a well executed swap and resto/custom like yours deserves a lot more respect than some people are willing to give, so ignore them.
