Title: Re: what about Lee Gongs Car? Post by: Rennsurfer on December 04, 2009, 01:35:29 am Oh, man... that truly sucks, but I'm very glad that he was able to walk away from that. His was the '65 with the early W deck lid in Stephan's book. I remember the car, now.
Can't wait to see what he's building next. Title: Re: what about Lee Gongs Car? Post by: christ4 on December 05, 2009, 12:48:04 pm yes I´ve heard of the crash but I thought that he rebuild the car after the crash. Was the crash to hard to rebuild the car? And whats happen then with the car? ???
This was a damn looking car!!! Title: Re: what about Lee Gongs Car? Post by: stealth67vw on December 05, 2009, 17:59:46 pm The track personnel picked the car up with hooks by the roof to drag it off the track causing further damage. :'(
