This is one of the many reasons I decided to part with her, I think Jeff is a heck of a guy, and he can devote the time and $ she deserves. I have heard the passion in his voice in wanting a nice VW van like he had in college. I am confident he will succeed. THANKS Jeff!!! Good Luck and make her BEAUTIFUL again.

Nice looking project. You are moving fast!
Will be fun to watch another early bay go together.

Just went back through pics, noticed you are tearing it down on the trailer, saving time or keeping it mobile?

Rick, tearing it down on trailer for both reasons you mentioned  Plus, not enough room in the building for both items on the floor......lol I have everything out except the steering column and the parking brake. And it pays to have a patient wife! |
