Glad it still looks like Hellberg still owns it too. He put a lot of work in to getting it to where it was.
Hellberg, if you're reading - are you going to get them to fix that sagging suspension while they're at it, to get it back to stock height? _________________ Andy

Looking great!
What happen to the OG paint smooth gates? The pics of them after the crash look like they were fixable. |

I was just reading this thread again and I see it is 1 year later from the accident.
Are you and your friend recovered from the accident?
1 year ago you said you just had a little trouble walking but your friend was in the hospital and I realized there was no update on you guys, just the Truck.
Did the Beetle get fixed too? _________________ How to Post Photos

Hopefully everyone made a full recovery!
Is this really the 4th oldest truck? I can think of 4 1952 singlecabs in the US alone. |

Alright! Got the single cab home a while ago and I've been working a lot on it
blasted the enginge area and got the car painted
Now I've driven the car for some miles and it feels nice to drive it again!

Soo satisfied how this truck turned out. Looks nice but not a trailerqueen. Just like I want it! Runs so smooth too.
Took a last ride for this year!
