Well, I got that 63 bug! I talked him down to a pretty good price and we drove through the night to pick it up. All of the advice about the towbar really helped. We used the lights and safety chains. It got a little slick on the way there and toward our end back. Ill post pics as soon as i get some sleep! well here is one ;D  |

I want to keep this one mostly together and have some fun with it before any big plans are made. Awesome Brad,be sure to wash all the road salt off her and be sure the local carwash dont recycle ther water (salt water) like some do,just taste it haha! taste the water! That would work  Ill just wash it at our shop. She does have a lot of salt spray  |
