Mike Unland puts the D in Detail

If you are in the VW scene you problably already seen it.

When i first came across Mike Unland’s picture of his 59 vert pan sittin on the ground
outside his garage with the Rotiform FUC’s on it, i tought this is a project to follow.

But back then i didn’t even know who the floorpan belonged to, Now i know and i have him
on my Facebook and i have fliped thru his build photos, and i got to say, the man got an great
eye for the details.

And now he has nailed it again with a set of DIY split wheels for his 1956 beetle.
Using a stock steel center and puting some big ass polished lips on them.

And it looks killer.

Call your Cuñados

Nice movie from eGarage.com

“Cuñado” means brother in law in Spanish. In our circle of early bus friends we use the term as a bond between others that transcends the split window bus. Cuñado is a mindset and camaraderie developed through owning and maintaining early split window buses, camping, grilling out, and attending car shows and swap meets.
We look out for one another as if we were family”. – Mark Pribanic
