The car is in the latest Hot VWs. Seems like the BC owner passed away shortly after the article was written. Sad.

I'm getting ready to do the dauphine on bug chassis on this '57 I found. I have a '64 pan that I will use underneath. Have several questions, do you have to narrow the rear torsion or can you get it to fit stock width?
