My 1961 Volkswagen Double Cab
17 08 2007My 1961 Volkswagen Double Cab
This double cab has seen better days in her life but as a whole this VW gem is in great shape. Most of the rust that is there is surface rust, except for a few spots on the rocker panels that will need to be replaced. The floors and nose are solid and the under belly is very clean for a 45+ year old double cab. All the interior is there but the upholstery is in bad shape and is not the original for the 61 double cabs. I will be working on this weekly and keeping you updated right here.
Men who restore cars totally turn me on. And I love Double Cabs…so you must be the perfect combination of man for me.
Ran across your site while looking for some info. Just bought a 63 DC and trying to restore it myself. Restored a 61 vw bug, but this is a different animal. Currently trying to remove the bed. Have any info on this. I have removed all the screws and bolts on top of the bed but woundering if it will just lift off or is the thing welded or maybe rusted on. Any ideas? Thanks
I too found you site while looking a round for information. Your DC looks like a great base for a restoration project, I’ll be checking back to see your progress.
Take it easy.
