Demon Bugs
(November
15, 2007) |
 During
the last year Stephen Szantai has been working on a book with
Motorbooks, the world's largest publisher of automotive books.
The subject of the book, titled
Demon Bugs, focuses on modified air-cooled
Volkswagens. It features a hardcover, 144 pages and 350 color
pictures. There are fifty cars each spread over two or four pages.
They include VWs Stephen has photographed over the last 20 years in
the U.S.A., Europe, Canada and Japan. As you would expect, a portion
of the book is dedicated to California Look VWs; but there’s also a
chapter about racecars.
Here is a short recap of the
book's contents:
| - History of custom
VWs since the ’50s, with several never seen before pictures |
| - Resto Custom Bugs
(including some cars from the German Folks Klub) |
| - California Look
Bugs (some DKP cars, Lee Gong’s ’65, Gary Berg’s ’67, etc.) |
| - Turbo/nitrous Bugs
(Chad Tostensen’s ’67, Scott Featherolf’s ’56, etc.) |
| - German Look Bugs |
| - Racecars (Jesse
James’ ’51, Rudy Olivença’s ’50, Pat McDermott’s Fiat, the
|
| Project Pinks ’65,
etc.) |
| - Buses and Fridolins |
| - Ghias and Type 3s |
| - Volksrods |
| - Full custom VWs |
| . . . and
finally, four of the best Bugs built in recent times: Aaron
Broughton’s |
| ’57, Darrell Baker’s
’58, Darren Dilley’s ’55, Randy Gates’ ’52 |
You can order Demon Bugs online
at Motorbooks.com (http://www.motorbooks.com/Store/ProductDetails_39008.ncm)
or you can visit Amazon.com.
