hey guys, I finally got my 1968 VW Beetle from my friend. He did all the work up to this point and just has been moving onto other things and has passed it along to me!

it is a 1968 VW Beetle, that has been converted into a truck, and it has a 1967 Mercury replica hood. I love it, it is super unique! It is currently in a garage in Ohio but will be making it's trip down to Florida in just a couple months! I don't know a whole lot about these cars but am excited to learn and drive this bad boy around!

wow...way back in the day, we had a neighbor that had one of these little trucks...very cool little hot rods for sure...

Thanks for sharing on here...I think there was also a 1937 hood kit available too..
