Nice work Paul!
Looks awesome.
These early racks are a ton of work to restore, I'm sure you are glad that hurdle is behind you. |

I normally hang out in the Bay forum as that is what I have, though I do check the others as I love all ACVWs. I found this one, saw how many pages it was and decided I needed to read it.
Was not disappointed.
At all.
Supremely impressed. About half way through I was sitting on the edge of my seat thinking 'please, please, if there is a god, he will make sure this is red and beige over blue with drips and drops on the inside.'
Man.
You two frigging nailed this one.
HARD.
I put this resto job on par with the VW38.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for doing this one right.
(tips virtual hat to all involved)
