68 purchased for $200.00
Sat under a walnut tree for over 20 years.
Beat to death from falling walnuts.
One thing led to another and after another 4 years sitting in my garage.
It started to become this ...
Never have had so much fun in building a car!
Have app. $700.00 in it with most of that in the wheels.
Been driving it for going on 13 years now.
Don't worry where I park it or if it gets scratched.
Recently added a roll bar and "4" point seat belt.
"it is what it is..."

Not sure but, I think I was one of the first to receive the sandcast "Volksrod Club" plate and several or their "Ts."
Have since worn out all the "Ts"... |
