The project started when Velocity Labs went out looking for their next project and came across a 1972 Volkswagen Beelte with a 1937 Ford front end. The car will be receiving a body-off restoration with a lot of modifications such as a chopped top, new suspension, wider rear fenders, a paint job, and a naturally aspirated Subaru EJ25 engine with EJ22 SOHC heads. Four videos have been released at this time and I have embedded the entire playlist below.
