VW Buses, Slammed Cars & Decades of Builds with Chad F | VW Garage Talk S2E5

Chad says he was basically born into Volkswagens.

His mom traveled the country in a Westy, visited the Volkswagen factory in Germany, and even watched a new Beetle go down the assembly line.

Years later, when Chad got out of the Army, one of the first things he did was buy a 1971 Bay Window.

That Bus became his introduction to the local VW community, learning how to rebuild an engine, doing bodywork, painting, welding, and eventually restoring and customizing Volkswagens himself.

In this episode of VW Garage Talk, we sit down in Chad’s garage in front of his ’65 Beetle and talk about the VWs he’s owned and built over the years, including multiple split-window Buses, a ’61 Double Cab, his seriously lowered Volkswagen Thing, water-cooled projects, and the Volkswagens he still wants to own.

We also get into his years building custom cars, how Volkswagen ideas still find their way into his American hot rods, the people who helped him along the way, and why giving back to the local car community matters to him.

It’s a conversation about much more than the cars. It’s about learning the craft, the people who helped along the way, and staying connected to the Volkswagen community decades later.
