Sorry to keep you in suspense Oz.... :D Since my last post I had a day off at home alone last week... first day we had sun and decent above freezing temps. Craig found out quickly what happens when you leave me home alone with all the tools. I began to tackle the Torsion Housing tear down. 1350 1351...

Here they are with 6 colors to choose from! The first white one is the sample design. **Please note the print color combinations** 1286 1150 The Blue and Purple will have a yellow design print and the Red, Orange, and Green will have a black design print. White will be available in both the black or...

We had these done recently..

Major engine progress today! Case primed and painted... Craig rebuilt the heads.... just waiting on UPS to deliver the rest of the new parts...

Hi Steve, First welcome to the Tow'd clan! As for parts etc.... that would really depend on what you are trying to do. From my own personal experience as I am in the process of a full tear down build, the sky is the limit! If you are looking for more of the fiberglass body parts (ie:towdster kit) th...

May not seem like a lot, but the studs have been removed from the case, and the case has been blasted...just a little more cleaning and the case should look like new tomorrow all clean and painted.

Engine Update - Case stripped, power washed, next it will be blasted...hopefully painted this weekend.

Wheels, Rollbar and Windshield frame.. HOME from the Powdercoating.... a little lighter color than my initial plan, but then again, this is an ever changing build.. a few things in the color family are changing as we go it seems. Sometimes, things just present themselves that lend to the overall pic...

The gathering of parts continues... today, the wiring harness from Rebel Wire showed up AND the rear bumper was finished being welded along with the Whip bracket. Monday, the bumpers will go to powdercoat when I pick up the wheels.

The biggest question to date is color.. I havent really mentioned that yet. Well I can tell you what family it will be in, but I wont know exactly till I get my peripherals back from TJ Kustoms.... one of the personalizations that I have chosen to do is hydro-dip a few things....the color of the Tow...

As for wheels - well I loved the look of the wide 5 slotted mags that came on the front of the Tow'd. They are 14 x 5. My mission to find matching rears worked out unexpectedly well. I did some "pre-shopping" prior to heading out to Ohio to meet Bruce and Winnie at the All Air-cooled gathe...

As for engine plans, the strategy is to go with a mild stroker - 74mm so everything just drops in with no machining required. Also adding dual baby webbers. The transmission is being swapped out to IRS. Brakes, well they are remaining as is for now. Eventually will get discs.

1. Yes this is an original Tow'd, although the tag indicates that it should have been powder blue.... it appears based on another forum that there were a bunch of tubs that were swapped out from the ABS and they all were competition orange...

The matching overalls... probably NOT going to happen...

Believe me when I say... I was wanting him to redo the engine from day one. Since we drove it hard when he got it running, knowing it was recently rebuilt... he figured for now we would have just clean it up to look better and when the other projects were complete go back and do a full rebuild... I ...
