Jorge Santos ( Jorgebug) built his hot rod vw or "Volksrod" As he calls it. Out of a worn out 70 sedan. The sedan was transformed into a rat rod. It was chopped cut and modified. Two years later the rat rod vw was transforms into a Volksrod. The Volksrod has a Tricky new look that is a mix of a early custom Lowrider and hot rod. The look is amplified by 4 1/2 inch chopped roof, door pillars, stretched out front end, and Big sunroof. The Volksrod has some very cool airbrushing and pinstriping both outside and in. The front hood is a 67 the rear deck lid is a 62.

Also fitted in is a completely custom TMI interior. The inter was completely gutted German square weave carpet and custom camaro seats wrapped in grey vinyl and charcoal suede with contrasting stitching and black grommets with orange inserts.

Jorge also installed a adjustable beam fitted with 2 1/2 drop spindles disc brakes and air shocks front and rear in addition a set of 1930 Packard headlights and 1932 ford tail lights Were installed.

A completely custom sound system with 3 amplifiers 1 sub 4 components 4 tweeters Custom center console and speaker grills was also installed

Lightened Flywheel 4) New 40mm x 35.5mm big valve heads, 5) Engle W110 cam, 6) Standard cam gear, 7) Swivel foot valve adjusters, 8) Scat performance lifters, 9) Windage push rod tubes, 10) H-D high volume oil pump,

The paint is a custom two tone house of kolors Pearl orange and Silver. Jorge also removed moldings and handles, welded every hole shut. After getting rid of the fenders and both aprons he fabricated a panel to install the gas tank.

The Attention to detail on this Volksrod is magnificent.
