That car known as the Heb-rod was built by Geoff Peterson of Surrey, B.C., Canada. It was down in Southern California for the VW Classic weekend a few months ago.

The pictures don't really show the quality of the work. Lot's of exceptional fabrication. I'd roll it. Wink

I saw that car at the Classic. The more you look at it the more you see the incredible detail and workmanship.

It's a true "classic" for years to come.

I totally agree, I also saw it at the Classic and the work done on it is excellent. It’s a beautiful Hot Rod.
