VW Info, Parts and Restoration

If your into restoring Volkswagens one of the things that you always deal with is rust. Rust is one of your Volkswagens worst enemies and once the rust is there the question becomes where am I going to get a replacement part? In the past you would just buy a part off another vw bus, bug or fabricate something out of some random peace of metal that you had laying around. I am here to tell you there is a better way. The people at Klassic fab are making replacement parts for Pre 1967 buses. If your looking for a VW part they are more then likely going to have it or be able to make one, as long as it’s made out of metal. Here is a quote from the klassic Fab web site.

“We at Klassic Fab are proud to be able to offer you quality barndoor and post barndoor reproduction parts, all are parts are hand made using NOS or original Parts as masters or patterns. We all know that what little reproduction parts are available for pre 55 and post 55 buses are pretty much junk when it comes to fit, quality and price. We know this very well, when we first started working on these vehicles, we were forced to buy theses parts because they were the only parts on available on the market, are dissatisfaction with these parts is what forced us to start making our own. We not only make are one parts we also install them on the vehicles we work on, this is the reason that we know are parts fit correctly, this is also the reason why we can make quick changes to the parts we sell if the need arises, most (not all) other manufactures, sellers or resellers of reproduction bus parts have never installed the parts they make or sell on a vehicle, they have no clue of how the parts fit, or how it is suppose to fit. We started making barndoor only parts, we are now starting to make post 55 bus parts, and eventually we will be making metal replacement parts for the whole type II line. If you do not see a part being offered on the site it does not mean we do not, or can not make that part, we can make any part there is on a type II vehicle, all we need is a pattern, some measurements, a picture, or the original part, give us a call so we can discuss your replacement metal panel needs. “

I have bought a few Volkswagen bus Replacement parts from these guys and the product is excellent. The peaces fit like a glove and are made of the correct gage metal, which you don’t find in other VW replacement parts. I highly recommend Klassic Fab if you are looking to get some high quality VW Bus parts. Order your parts early these guys are really busy and sometime it takes them a while to get your part to you. Klassic Fab doesn’t have pricing on there site so give them a call to get pricing.
