My 58 Delray - Anyone else with a classic?

[Techhead]

I bought this car on a whim about 6 yrs ago and have done very little with it.
It sits in my garage and when I do have time i whittle away at it.
Keeps me sane.

Removing the 327 that it came with.

Test fitting a BBB 455

I have a '69 Squareback that I have yet to do anything with. Hopefully this summer I'll get it on the road.

That's the best possible thing that could happen to a Luv truck....

I've got a 73 VW Standard Beetle (Not a Superbeetle). It has the somewhat rare VW autostick, basically a 3 speed transmission. Low, 1, and 2. To shift you just let off the gas and pull her back into the gear you want. From a stop you put your foot on the brake and put it in gear just like an automatic, it has a torque converter to allow idling in gear. When shifting the pressure of you hand on the stick engages a small microswitch that engages an electric clutch. I don't have her even started yet as far as restoration goes, she needs new floorpans and the motor rebuilt and put back in. I originally thought about building a hot bug, but I'm going to keep it stock because it's worth more that way. Plus the autostick transmission isn't the best thing in the world to pair up a built motor with, a 4 speed is much better.
