One of our received calls today, a call truly enjoyed, was from a recent client named Steve from California’s San Fernando Valley. He later sent us a friendly email and added:

I want to say thank you to ClassicBugParts.com for an amazing improvement on the clutch shaft. I have never felt peace of mind driving my 1959 VW bug. I’m so pleased with their products that I’m replacing my whole clutch [and accelerator assembly] with their gas pedal assembly called X-Celerator Speed Wheel which has a spring on the gas pedal. I’m also moving up from their standard pedal upgrade to the new and improved Roller Pedal called the Pistol Wheel.  Das Infamous VWCC members are excited about their products and now every member wants one and thinks it’s a reliable, dependable assembly. Once again, thank you!

“I have been using a Classic Bug Parts clutch arm for many years in my Unlimited Street West car. I have had many aggressive clutches and the Classic Bug Parts clutch arm has withstood the abuse flawlessly.

It provides smooth engagement and makes installation of the clutch cable a breeze. We use these arms in many of?our customers’ cars as well. Highly recommended.” – Andy Fabbro

The Classic Bug Parts Team says Thank you, Andy! Your time and comments are truly appreciated.

My VW is a 1970 Baja Bug and it isn’t very pretty, but I like to trail with it in the desert, so it doesn’t have to be a beauty queen. Problem was, whenever I go trailing I use my cowboy boots, and these size 13 boots easily used to get stuck between the clutch and the brake pedal. Not anymore thanks to ClassicBugParts and their “Big Boy Pedal Extender”. It gives me the added room I need.

In 2014 I commissioned the full restoration of our 1968 Meyers Manx dune buggy. I had always fought with the stock accelerator pedal setup, in that it would never work smoothly or give me full throttle travel, and would occasionally bind up. During the restoration I happened on an ad for the X-Celerator Speed Wheel upgrade kit from Classic Bug Parts and thought their design might solve my problems with the stock setup.  After I installed the pedal upgrade I was completely blown away by how well it worked, and it truly fixed all of my issues.

As a completely satisfied customer, I have purchased two more X-Celerator Speed Wheel upgrade kits and have installed them in my 1973 and 1974 VW Things. This pedal kit is one of the best upgrades I?ve ever purchased.  – Bud Zeller

Let me first start off by saying I’m not one to write reviews, but I feel this one is necessary for all the VW enthusiasts out there. I have a 1967 full custom Cal Look VW which I’ve spent countless hours on, to make it reliable and comfortable to drive. The products that Classic Bug parts sells, such as the Big Boy Pedal Extender*, have helped tremendously with my comfort in the drivers seat! Along with comfort, I want reliability, and the Clutch Pedal Shaft Upgrade did this… I never have to worry about my clutch pedal hook snapping on me ever again!  Peace of mind when driving a Classic VW is important.

Soon to be installed will be the Pistol Wheel for my accelerator. I’m certain this will meet all expectations, as my previous two purchases from Classic Bug parts have. Thanks for the awesome products for the VW community! Keep up the great work guys! I absolutely love the parts I’ve installed thus far.  Soooooo much better than stock!!
– John Mofidi

*Note:  The Big Boy Pedal Extender kit incorporates the Clutch Pedal Shaft upgrade while adding space between your clutch and brake pedals.

Ron from Classic Bug Parts had the privilege of touring the Metalcraft Motorsports shop in Sanger, CA. Wow, what an outstanding VW repair shop! Scott gave us the tour of his collection of VW Classics in the works.

Scott is an Advanced Engine Performance Mechanic extraordinaire. He explained that he is very particular when it comes to choosing the best after-market products. And get this, while reviewing his projects with us, Scott mentioned that he doesn’t give his clients a choice, he installs Classic Bug Parts pedal cluster products in all his cars!

One of his outstanding current projects is a Ruby Red Karman Ghia Classic, where Scott is planning to install the Classic Bug Parts
X-Celerator Speed Wheel and Clutch Shaft upgrades. Can’t wait to see this lady in red at the upcoming car shows!

If any of you bug lovers out there need precision work on your Classic VW project, Scott Sebastian from Metalcraft Motorsports is your man! You will be amazed by his mechanical expertise and the quality of his work. Scott doesn’t cut corners, and he uses the BEST components.

Thank you, Scott, for the awesome tour of your cool shop, and thank you for using Classic Bug Parts!

The man behind the amazing artwork of the world-famous “Good Vibrations Bug”, created by the visionary minds at The Rusty VW, painstakingly custom painted by “Stovepipe” Finn Pete.

Yes, the winner goes to a Hawaii Boy. He takes this great creation away to his new home in beautiful Hawaii. To make the prize even sweeter, Classic Bug Parts donated the smoothest, quickest accelerator in the world, the “X-Celerator Speed Wheel”, to their artwork in motion, along with the “Big Boy Pedal Extender” clutch shaft, which widens the space between your pedals.

Not only is this beauty looking coool, but it’s going to give the driver a greater sense of enjoyment each time he steps on the pedals. Stovepipe says this is “the greatest pedal assembly ever”, and uses it in his own bug.

Wendee’s white bug is almost a twin to ours!  What to say?  She has good taste… More on her second classic VW coming soon…
