I don't know how I missed this, I have walked the showgrounds back and forth, but no, didn't see this boxed god-awfull monstrosity. A shame I didn't, I would love to have such a rare beast.

Who cares if I don't approve... it's actually a cool car. Only thing I'd change are change the wheels back to their factory anodized finish and give the body a more proper Cal Look stance. The engine looks GREAT! If I could fit those air cleaners under my '67 Beetle decklid, I'd run 'em.

Thanks for sharing, Keith. Looks like a fun weekend car.

I confess,

I really like it... I don't know what the heck it is, but I like it.

There. I said it.

Makes me really want to build my DKW Schnellaster van I've had stashed for so long now.

I feel better now ;)

And a super neat, one color custom paint job ;)

Amen to that. But... to each their own.
